Two hours ago my daughter was to return home from college. It is now 11:30 p.m.
Imagine the shock we had when we got a call and she said, “The signs for Richmond have disappeared” and after she told us what mile marker they had just driven by, their location was close to Winchester. The driver had not seen the I-64 exit. We are going to rendevous somewhere here in the eastern part of the state, but who knows when that will be. Thus, I am at the computer cleaning out old files. I came across something I had saved from the Internet of church bulletin bloopers — classic examples of what happens when rules of composition are not followed. I was laughing so hard that my family had to come back to the home office to see if I had maybe, just possibly, finally “lost it.” I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
