LOST MY MARBLES
I just got this from a Christmas Bazaar today. 1 marble in a small zip bag a little bigger than a business card. A poem inside was the size of a business card, with decorative trim around the edges. It read: "Sometimes it seems we lose our way and life becomes so blue. You think you've lost your "marbles" and others suspect it's true. But in spite of all the odds my friend, life can be wonderful too. Just remember, that no matter what, I'm always here for you. So when you think you've lost them all; pull out my gift to you. It may be small, and only one...but you haven't lost them all!!!"

Then it began to shout.

It helped him with his mood.
He returned to Who-ville kind at heart,
But stayed away from all the food!

GOLF BALL SEEDS
Put beans in a bag or a seed packet (with hole cut out and covered with cellophane) and add topper:
A vine or two will provide you with enough golf balls so you will never have to hunt for one in the rough again and that is a pretty "fairway" to save time and money
On the back
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Choose a smooth section of lawn.
The closer it resembles a green, the higher the quality of the balls produced. Remove a divot of sod using either a 5 or 7 iron. Use your putter to dig a hole about 6 inches deep - this gives new meaning to "puttering around in the yard..." Put the seed into the hole. Place a tall, thin pole on top of the seed as a trellis for the vine. Use a triangular flag to number each pole. If you try to grow over 18 plants at one time, they may not perform up to "par"! If plants are over watered, the balls will be attracted to water hazards.
HARVESTING:
Your first crop should be ready for harvest in "roughly" 18 days.
When balls mature, the flag will fall over.
Carefully pull the vine out of the ground.
Under it, you should find a matched set of high quality golf balls.
After running them through a ball washer, they should suit you to a "tee".

As the Grinch would say,
"I most certainly did not!"

Landed on the roof,

He left in a hurry-
Homeward bound,
Leaving little green piles
All over the ground.
