The Ridge Winery had a big crowd Saturday for the Souper Saturday on the Indiana Wine Trail. I stopped in for some soup and it was really good. I saw with Mary Jane Demaree and Stan and Peg Attenberger. They are from Madison and run the Madison by Design Store on Main Street. They were so nice and invited us to visit their store. Mary Jane said they had a lot of regulars and visitors and were glad to see so many local people take part. It was a good day.

A friend gave me this joke he wanted to share with others.
Pirate Joke:
A pirate walked into a restaurant and the waiter said, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while, What happened, you look terrible.”
“What do you mean? I’m fine.”
“What about that wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”
“Well,” said the pirate, “we were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my let, but the Doc fixed me up, and I’m fine, really.”
“Oh yeah? Well, what about that hook? The last time I saw you, you had both hands.”
“Well, we were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off, but the Doc fixed me up with the hook, and I feel great, really.”
“Oh,” said the waiter, “what about that eye patch? The last time you were in here you had both eyes.”
“One day when we were at sea some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up and got an eyeful of excrement.”
“You’re kidding,” said the waiter, “You couldn’t have lost an eye just from that.”
“Nah, it was my first day with the hook.”
