IT'S MUCH, MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT

 STAYED HOME AND SHOVELED SNOW THIS MORNING
Blue skies, sunshine, snowflurries, and a gray cloud cover made for an early February day.  Yes, I shoveled more snow, spent time on the exercise bike, checked the news headlines periodically, bonked around on my computer, got some reading done, took care of a few domestic chores, and somewhere in there had a shower and partook of a few peanut butter snacks.  Despite all those exciting things, I managed to stay calm and let the day slide on by.  I might even do it all over again tomorrow.........but with a couple of differences thrown in.

 IF WE DON'T GET A THAW SOON, I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM GOING TO PUT ALL THE SNOW
I ALWAYS TAKE MY SHOVEL FOR A WALK ACROSS THE ROAD OVER TO MONICAS
 IT'S A SNOWY YARD AT THE BAYFIELD BUNCH HOUSE
 I WONDER WHEN I'LL GET TO USE MY GARDEN HOSE AGAIN
I am currently reading Afterlife Preview by author Stephen Hawley Martin.  A fascinating read, and only one of the many books I have read on this subject these past five years.  Not a subject of interest for everyone, but looking back over my sometimes rocky life, I can understand now why my mind has finally been opened and why I have been led here.  And it's why I have become so interested in the final stages of life here on Earth and a new beginning on the other side.  I don't come at this from a traditional religious point of view.  It is much, much bigger than that.

 AFTER SHOVELING THE DRIVEWAY AND FRONT YARD PATHS, I SLIPPED AROUND TO THE BACK YARD
 THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WEIGHT ON THOSE TWO ROOFS WHEN  TEMPEERATURES FINALLY RISE ABOVE FREEZING AGAIN SOME DAY

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor's quick wit and intelligence. "Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?" "I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of them, you'll be positively brilliant." "You sell them here?" the customer asks. "Only $4 apiece," says Green. The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting, and he isn't any smarter. "You didn't eat enough," says Green. The customer goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back, and this time he's really angry. "Hey, Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for $4 apiece when I can buy the whole fish for $2. You're ripping me off!" "You see?" says Green. "You're getting smarter already!"

I'm at my boss's funeral, kneeling and whispering at the coffin..."Who's thinking outside the box now, Gary?"

Driving to work, a gentleman had to swerve to avoid a box that fell out of a truck in front of him. Seconds later, a policeman pulled him over for reckless driving. Fortunately, another officer had seen the carton in the road. The policemen stopped traffic and recovered the box. It was found to contain large upholstery tacks. "I'm sorry sir," the first trooper told the driver, "but I am still going to have to write you a ticket." Amazed, the driver asked for what. The trooper replied, "Tacks evasion."

  1. Just got Afterlife Preview from my local library and read the first chapter. It looks like a book I'm going to "enjoy", or maybe "appreciate" would be a better word. There are no training sessions for getting old are there. Thank you, Al. Lord, you have snow!!! Gorgeous photos, as always. Yep, keep those peanut butter snacks handy for a quick fun time. :-)
