MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY AND UNINTERUPTINGLY IN THE BACKGROUND

I recently blogged about the trouble I've been having with my TV automatically going into 'Stand By' mode every two hours and how frustrating that has been, with seemingly no way to change that with the new equipment our internet company had installed.  I am accustomed to sleeping all night with soft music in the background, and that wasn't happening anymore.  And, anytime I wasn't home or was outside for two hours and walked back in the house, it was walking into a tomb.  For me, the silence was deafening.  What to do, what to do!!  Enter my good neighbor Andrew, who came over Saturday night and wrestled my TV problem to the ground.  And here's the added bonus, he was also able to, through a lot of complicated wrangling involving passwords, and log-ins, etc, and more etc's, find and install SiriusXM on my TV.  And there it was, my favorite channel, 'The Spa'.  But, we weren't out of the woods yet.  Would the TV still go into its dreaded 'stand-by' mode after two hours??  We both felt it would:((  It didn't with the XM music channel, but it still did with the Eastlink TV channels stuff so Andrew came back this evening and made more changes, which I will talk about tomorrow.  But last night, I blissfully slept all night with my soothingly soft ambient meditative music playing softly and uninteruptingly in the background:)))

A QUIET SUNDAY MORNING ON THIS FARM

THIS FELLOW IS GOING TO DO SOME SPRAYING THIS MORNING

 HERE'S A FARM LADY USHERING SOME HORSES FROM ONE PASTURE, ACROSS THE FARM LANEWAY TO ANOTHER PASTURE

 HORSES?  WHAT ARE HORSES??

 ROADSIDE FLOWERS

And yet another beautiful late May day, I thought to myself, walking along my country road this morning.  I followed that with a slow drive around the lush countryside.  Everything is growing full tilt right now.  So lush and so green.

A short drive into Bayfield this afternoon netted me a foot-long hot dog and a small ice cream cone at the Woodland Drive-In.  A few photos down around the beach area as well.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Rick, fresh out of accounting school, went to a interview for a good paying job. The company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked him, "What is three times seven?" "22," Rick replied.
After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to the interview!) and realized he wouldn't get the job. About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but was still very curious. The next day, he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got such a simple question wrong. The boss shrugged and said, "Well, you were the closest."

An 8 year old girl went to the office with her father on 'Take your kid to work Day'.

As they walked round the office she started crying and getting cranky. Her father asked what was wrong. As the staff gathered round she sobbed loudly, "Daddy, where are all the clowns you said you worked with?"

------------------------------
Its been a couple of years since I actually worked in an office, so I thought I should do something to prepare to get back into the typing, filing and phone answering, and what not. So what I did was I had a friend of mine go with me down to the local swimming pool, and I had him tie me up in a burlap sack and sink me to the bottom of the pool. And then just as I was about to suffocate, he yanked me up and gave me a lunch break.
