A FEW RAINDROPS LEFT ON SOME LEAVES AFTER SUNDAY NIGHT’S STORM ROLLED THROUGH….PHOTO TAKEN EARLY THIS MORNING
Old home town buddies and brothers Jim and John Eifert picked me up this morning about 9:30 and we headed straight away for a downtown Bayfield coffee shop called the Charles Street Cafe (on mains street) Think this was only the 2nd time in nearly 14 years that I actually sat down for coffee in a Bayfield coffee shop believe it or not. We got 1 muffin between us and proceeded to fight over it like 3 cackling sea gulls fighting over a French fry in a parking lot. I think I won:))

As usual we had a lot of laughs coupled with even more old memories of days and antics gone by. At one point we all ended up giggling like a bunch of young school girls and I cannot remember the last time that has happened to me except for once when smoking some wacky tobacky back in the late 70's. And what kicked off our little giggle fest?? Well, not much really we were just trying to figure out why we didn't remember each other from public school despite being the same age and only living a block apart. I said it was probably because I had failed grade one and I don’t know what it was about that but that's all it took to somehow trigger our laughing gaggle of giggles. And that's the way it was back in the old high school and small town days as well when we and others all hung out together. I later wondered what anyone would have thought had they walked into that coffee shop this morning & saw these 3 old white haired guys clustered in a near corner having giggle fits with 3 cups of coffee and 1 muffin. Bet they would have thought it was a wacky tobacky muffin eh…….:))

POPPIES TOO Think it was about 12 years ago that Kelly and I bought my current recliner from a Sears Outlet store in London Ontario. Got a good deal on it because it had some kind of a flaw which we never did figure out. I've put a lot of miles on my old faithful recliner and now that it doubles for my bed those miles have begun taking their toll. Kelly spotted a used Lazy-boy leather recliner for sale in Londesborough Ontario so Sunday we drove over and had a look at it. This afternoon we went back to Londesborough and bought the chair. It fits me perfect and is not as big and heavy as my old recliner. We're thinking this leather recliner will also work well in our Motorhome for winter travels too. It rocks and also swivels. Now here's the funny thing. Years ago in several of my posts I talked about how much I disliked leather furniture and why. Now including the 2 leather captains chairs in our Motorhome we have a total of 6 leather chairs. Guess it just goes to show you can still teach an old dog a few new tricks. A willing old dog that is.............................

I did finally make a start on our 2nd shed clean-up and with much cooler weather in the forecast I’m hoping to finish that project and finally get myself started on the big Motorhome clean-up shortly.

A: You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish.
What a fun time with the guys, so nice to get together for a few laughs too.
ReplyDeleteThe first car I put on the road was a 1956 Ford Customline, just loved the sound of that engine with the thrush mufflers I put on, memories...
Those old friends are the best! Enjoy them while you can....
