PHEEBS HOLDS DOWN THE FORT FOR A FEW HOURS TODAY

A THIN SKIFF OF ICE ON THE PARK'S POND

Pheebs held down the fort this morning while Kelly and I Subarued ourselves over to St. Marys Ontario to meet our good friends Richard and Gayle for breakfast at Joe's Diner.  Good food and great company topped off the morning before we headed back to Bayfield.  Roads were bare and dry under semi-sunny skies so it was a nice morning for a drive.  And, it was nice to get out and blow some dust off ourselves.

It was an icy east wind for our afternoon walk around the Park's pond this afternoon but it wasn't icy or windy enough to keep Pheebs and I inside.  Tonight's photos are from our walk on this dark and dull gray day.

 FROZEN IN THE ICE

 ICY REFLECTION

Facebook threw me a couple memory posts today and the one entitled Just Sharing A Few Thoughts Today caught my attention.  I wrote it twelve years ago on December 10th, 2010 while we were boondocked East of Elfrida Arizona just west of the Swiss Helm Mountains.  We were there acting as security on a property for a month or so.  I read this post over and decided not much has changed in my thoughts from then to now.

 I THINK THOSE RED BRANCHES ARE THOSE OF A DOGWOOD

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Gladys was the preacher's wife and accompanied her husband each Sunday to church. One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation fell asleep. After the service, to be sociable, she walked up to a very sleepy-looking gentleman. In an attempt to revive him from his stupor, she extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn." To which the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one!"
