EARLY STIRRINGS OF A WELCOMING SPRING TONIC

First, a shout-out tonight to the nice Bayfield lady in Goderich's Walmart this afternoon who recognized Woodsy and said 'Hello'.  Woodsy was quite tickled about someone recognizing her from the blog:))

It was a nice afternoon for a drive, so Lorraine (Woodsy) and I headed off to Goderich to pick up a few things at Walmart.  We had picked up Chinese food at China Wok late Saturday afternoon, and Woodsy wanted to pick up a few ingredients to stretch out the leftovers.  This was the second time we had Chinese food from China Wok, and both times we had the 'Dinner for Four' and loved it.  The price is right, and the food is great.  Two thumbs up for Goderich's China Wok at 411 Huron Road.

Had Pheebs been with me this mid-February morning, driving through the countryside, we would have had both of Subie's front windows down with the heater on low.  I headed east down Bayfield River Road, then north on Parr line, enjoying the morning Sun dancing on Sunday mornings, rural snowscape.  But it was when I turned west on Telephone Road that the full impact of the beautiful morning literally dawned on me.  The sunshine was so warm on my face through the open window that I thought if I were to drive for any distance, I would definitely end up with a suntan on that side of my face.  Temps were only at 33F, but despite that, I could feel the early stirrings of a welcoming spring tonic flow into my very being.  Our temperature today topped out at 38F.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The Local sheriff was looking for a new deputy. When a little Moron walks in to try for the job, he asks him, "Okay, what is 1 and 1?" "Eleven", he replies. The sheriff thinks to himself, "That's not what I wanted, but I guess he's right!" "What two days of the week begin with the letter T?" he asks. "Today and Tomorrow", the little Moron answers. The sheriff is again surprised that the little Moron has supplied a correct answer that had not even occurred to him. "Now listen carefully, who killed Ave Lincoln?" he asks him. The little Moron looks a little surprised. He thinks really hard for a minute and finally admits, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" So, the little Moron wanders over to the local coffee shop, where his pals are waiting to hear the results of the interview. The little Moron was exultant. "The interview went great!" he says. "First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize you set it free...

You either married it or gave birth to it.

During a performance for the high school talent show at the local theater, a hole was cracked in the stage floor. Subsequent acts managed to avoid the damaged area until little Freddy, juggling bowling pins, accidentally stepped through the hole up to his knees. He apologized to the audience for his clumsiness. But a heckler in the back of the theater shouted: "Don't worry, Freddy! It's just a stage you're going through!"
