I SOMETIMES WONDER WHERE I HAVE BEEN ALL MY LIFE

 A REFLECTIVE FARM POND THIS MORNING

For some reason or another, I thought today was supposed to be rainy.  Nope, bright sunshine all day.  I do get myself a little mixed up some days.  Well okay, quite a few days then.  Tomorrow is supposed to be the rainy one.  A nice morning walk and a wee drive around the countryside kinda kept me on track for most of the rest of the day.  Couldn't seem to drum up much energy for getting interested in anything productive, though, so I sat on the porch reading for a while.  Of course, with peanuts in my pocket, I didn't have any shortage of furry company.  I inherited my love of animals from my Mother, and I do believe it was from that side of my family that I inherited my love of music as well.

Thanks to my son Sean for wishing me a Happy Father's Day today.  I'm afraid I haven't been much of a Father over the years. I sometimes wonder where I have been all my life...................

AT ONE POINT THIS AFTERNOON, I HAD 3 FURRLY LITTLE PALS ON ME ALL AT THE SAME TIME....ONE ON MY SHOULDER LOOKING FOR THE PEANUT I HAD PUT ON MY HEAD, ONE IN MY LAP ALREADY EATING A FOUND PEANUT, AND ONE CLEVER LITTLE SHYSTER RIGHT IN MY PANTS POCKET SNITCHING THE PEANUTS RIGHT OUT OF WHERE I THOUGHT I HAD THEM SECRETLEY STASHED

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: Don't step on the ducks!"So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he has ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly woman! "The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extemely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy. The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, very careful where he steps.  He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid eyes on: a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blonde. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The guy remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" She says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

Familiarity:: You look familiar, did I see you in the zoo parade? I think you may have seen me at the zoo, and I was the one who was feeding you peanuts.

- That's funny, you calling me an animal, and it's you who has the webbed feet. You look familiar, too, but that's not surprising; I collect bugs for a hobby.

- You look familiar. Have I ever seen you hanging by the tail from a tree in my garden ? Didn't I dissect you in a biology class one time?

A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner. A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.  The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing on a corner. The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner, people."  A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again, "Let's get off that corner...NOW!" Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction. Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"  "Pretty good," chuckled the veteran policeman, "especially since this is a bus stop!"
