AND SOME DAYS IT IS QUITE ALRIGHT TO DO THAT

A GLOOMY EARLY EVENING LOOK FROM MY COMPUTER CHAIR OUT THE SUNROOM WINDOW INTO THE FRONT YARD

A cold, wet, and windy day.  Not much point in even setting foot out the door. But, this afternoon, I did just that, and drove into Bayfield to pick up a 20-pound bag of Squirrel Proof birdseed at the Porter's Hill Wild Bird Seed Company  From there, I scurried back home and got myself inside out of the crummy weather.  Of course, there are things that need doing inside the house, but the tough part there is getting the mind to convince the body to get off its duff and do something. Needless to say, my mind and my body were not cooperating with each other today so very little got done.  I cooked up a couple of peanut butter sandwiches and chalked it up as a lost day.  And, some days, it's quite alright to do that:))

LOOKS LIKE THE BOYS HAVE AN AFTERNOON GAME OF BOCCE BALL GOING ON AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH TODAY

Ellen's Groove:)) Ellen plays, Teen Town I consider this latest video of Ellen playing bass to be the best I've seen because it showcases her natural musical talent and how far she has come in these past four or five years.  Take note of her excellent, fast, and accurate finger work on the fretless guitar.  And watch how she moves effortlessly through the whole 2.36 minute video.  Stay with it and watch for all the personality quips and quirks bubbling out of her.  She is a true natural who I think has a great future ahead of her.  Ellen, with an Armenian heritage, speaks fluent Armenian and here she is with a 6-string acoustic guitar singing, Lusin' in Armenian.  Also of note, Ellen is an amazing artist, with her many creative drawings and paintings.  This is Ellen's website...EllenPlaysBass

 ELLEN DID THE  ARTWORK FOR HER NEW ALBUM ENTITLED 'JAMINAI' AND HERE'S A PREVIEW OF THE ALBUM...JAMINAI.  THE FELLOW IN THE BLUE CHECKERED SHIRT ON GUITAR IS ELLEN'S DAD....THE ALBUM IS TO BE RELEASED ON ELLEN'S 14TH BIRTHDAY, JUNE 1ST.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Joe grew up in a small town, then moved away to attend college and law school. He decided to come back to the small town because he could be a big man in this small town. He really wanted to impress everyone.  He opened his new law office, but business was very slow at first. One day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived.  As the man came to the door, Joe picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while talking..."No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York that I won't settle this case for less than one million..." "Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support..."  "Okay. Tell the DA that I'll meet with him next week to discuss the details..."  This sort of thing went on for almost 5 minutes. All the while, the man sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions.  Finally, Joe put down the phone and turned to the man.  "I'm sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"  The man replied "I'm from the phone company...I came to hook up your phone."

An elderly couple were in church. The wife leaned over and whispered to her husband, "I just let out a long, silent blast of gas... what should I do?"The red-faced husband replied, "Replace the batteries in your hearing aid."

Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back to the doctor in a month, and the doctor said, "your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."

To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"
