Just for fun some quotes, comments, and puns taken from the Side Notes of the June/July issue of OUR IOWA magazine. The Note are found on the vertical margins in the magazine.

"A perfect summer day is when the sun shining,
the breeze is blowing, the birds and signing,
and the lawn mower is broken."

"What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity."

"The best way to cheer yourself up
is to cheer up somebody else."

"Before you flare up at any one's faults,
take time to count to 10 ---
10 of your own."

"There are friendships imprinted in our hearts
that will never be diminished 
by time and distance."

"My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world.
And after 2 or 3 hours with them,
I believe it too."
