WE ARE ABOVE FREEZING AND OUR SNOW IS MELTING:)))))

First bit of business this morning was to take Subie to Bayfield's car wash and get all the corrosive salt washed off of her.  What a mess it was.  On the way home, I slipped along Bayfield's Main Street and then down to the beach area for a few photos.

 THOSE ARE NOT WAVES OUT THERE, THEY ARE CHUNKS OF FLOATING ICE
 DID YOU SEE THE FISHERMAN??
 THE BAYFIELD RIVER ICE IS MELTING
Thanks to readers for your suggestions on my iPhone photos to laptop problem.  I am so frustrated with all this stuff.  I did make some headway with some of the suggestions, only to be thwarted by passwords and passcodes at my end.  And then, trying to download a book to my Kindle today, that all went ka-flooey too. I am so close right now to saying the hell with all this fangled electronic crap.  Forget about the blog, forget about the camera, the stupid phone, the Kindle, the, the, the, and etc. etc etc.  My mind and memory are slipping, and everything is becoming increasingly frustrating.......

GROANER'S CORNER:(( You know your getting older when...

1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.
2. You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
3. At the breakfast table, you hear snap, crackle, pop, and you're not eating cereal.
4. Your back goes out, but you stay home.
5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.
6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
8. When happy hour is a nap.
9. When you're on vacation, and your energy runs out before your money does..
10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to you, and you always hated it.
11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.
12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.
13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
15. Your memory is shorter, and your complaining lasts longer.
16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.
17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
19. Getting 'lucky' means you found your car in the parking lot.
20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.
21. It takes twice as long to look half as good.
22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.
23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.
24. You sink your teeth into a steak - and they stay there.
25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.
26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore.
27. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.
28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.

A husband was having great difficulty getting along with his wife.  Nothing but arguing and friction, so he decided to consult a marriage counselor.  After they had talked for a while, the counselor said, I suggest that you run five miles each day for a week. Then please call me back.  A week later the counselor received a call from the husband.  Well, asked the counselor, "how are things going with you and your wife?"
How should I know, said the husband. I'm thirty-five miles away.

  1. Many of your "groaner's corner" picks made me laugh - and we certainly need more to laugh about as we grow older... Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your posts. I look forward to them every evening !

  2. Don't give up, Al. Just take a break trying things. But keep on trying the Kindle thingy because of your love of reading. Passwords/passcodes are a pain, and writing them down in a little private notebook will help. I do that now, but I'm afraid a robber will find the notebook and really screw up my life...haha. As though!!!!
    We've gotta laugh at our aging selves.
    Glad your weather is getting milder and snow is melting.
