get the joke your comments: Last month's joke was a notice to have Sun Lakes become an independent nation. It was met with great enthusiasm and, with a little work and an open mind, could happen! You'll have to get your passport to go to the grocery store, though. It's about time. Where do I sign? Dottie J. (Start a petition!) As always, keep the great photos coming! We're hoping for snow so we can get some more great winter photos for upcoming issues. Please send any photos of Sun Lakes to sunlakesnews@ yahoo.com. Congratulations to this month's Dinner Winner: Beth Bobinette Please see Debbie Sorrows for your Sun Lakes Restaurant dinner for two.

When you find it, fill out the box below and turn it into the Main Clubhouse reception desk before noon on the sixth of the month.

If Texans think it's a good idea, it must be crazy. Earl D. (I hope you don't feel that way about Texas Toast. That stuff is delicious!) My question is: Are we going to succeed or are we going to secede? Janice & Alvin E. (Both?) I would be glad to be in control of something! Norma G. (President Norma sounds nice.) What a novel idea! Jim S. (Thanks!) I'm in! Jean P. (Yay!) Neat idea - you can have my signature.! Helene K. (I've been signing your name for years.) When I enter SLCC and the gate closes behind me, I give a sigh of relief and feel as if I have already seceded from a world going mad. Gerald I. (That's how prisoners feel too.) Can I still go to Wal-Mart? Andrea K. (With a passport.) An autonomous country! Marylou L. (Ask Dottie J.) Where do I sign? Seceding from the rest of the world wouldn't be such a bad idea. But what would they do without us? Damjanovic A. (Good question! Cry probably.) We still live in the best country in the world. Second, of course, to SLCC. Judy K. (The Swiss disagree.) We need to get busy… first contacting Besty Ross about our flag and then Francis Scott Key about our national anthem, and Thomas Jefferson about our constitution. Bess H. (Good idea except they're all dead. Sorry to share the bad news, if you hadn't heard.) If we secede, can we still keep our Medicare? Harriet B. (Another good question… I think the Multipurpose Room can be turned into a clinic.) Count me in! I'm there! Jeanne M. (You're 7) If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! George R. (Groan) I am definitely one of those who are concerned about my country. Sign me up. Jeannette J. (Okay - you're 8) Dere Bob, you mean secession. Lurn 2 spel. Ralph M. (OK. I wil tri. Iff spel chek dosnt ketch it, heven nos eye wont.) By all means we should have our own country. I will run for President. Margie C. (POTSL Margie) I got the joke!
