THERE WILL COME A TIME

A beautiful cool sunny morning morphed into a pleasantly warm day.  After our country road walk, Pheebs and I headed to Goderich where I had something to drop off at the Dynacare Lab.  No, it wasn't a peanut butter sandwich.  A coffee to go at McD's and down to the waterfront we went.  After snapping a couple pics we headed for home with our front windows down, Subie's sunroof open, and the morning's summer breeze blowing our favorite memories around.  I thought to myself, there will come a time when I will look back on these days of my life with great fondness.

 SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING ALONG I DON'T HAVE THE BEST ACCESS TO MY COFFEE
 A NICE CHEVY CAMARO GOING BY
 AND PHEEBS WASN'T THE ONLY DOGGY OUT FOR A CAR RIDE THIS MORNING
 ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF A SUNROOF IS FOR TAKING AIRPLANE PICS
With the Jeep's interior needing a good cleaning I wasn't long in hauling out the shop vac and getting at it.  Pheebs paws have a habit of loading gravel into the Jeep every time she hops in.  I keep a towel on the passenger seat but the gravel still finds a way under it. Cleaned all the Jeep's windows as well.  By 1 p.m. it was beginning to get humid so into the house I retreated.  For most of the day, I thought it was Tuesday until Kelly informed me earlier this evening that it was actually Monday. 'Well fancy that' I thought to myself.

 TWO THINGS WE ARE NEVER SHORT OF IN THE JEEP IS GRAVEL AND DOGGY FUR
Oh my, how the days are sliding by.  And the years too.  Tomorrow July 11th is my Aunt Jean's 96th birthday.  Below are a few photos from late February and early March in 2018 when we last visited Aunt Jean in Sarasota, Florida.  'Happy Birthday Jean':)))))

GROANER'S CORNER:((   The following are actual signs found on church property........

"No God-No Peace. Know God-Know Peace."

"Free Trip to heaven. Details Inside!"

"Try our Sundays. They are better than Baskin-Robbins."

"Searching for a new look? Have your faith lifted here!"

An ad for St. Joseph's Episcopal Church has a picture of two hands holding stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed and a headline that reads, "For fast, fast, fast relief, take two tablets."

When the restaurant next to the Lutheran Church put out a big sign with red letters that said, "Open Sundays," the church reciprocated with its own message: "We are open on Sundays, too."

"Have trouble sleeping? We have sermons-come hear one!"

A singing group called "The Resurrection" was scheduled to sing at a church. When a big snowstorm postponed the performance, the pastor fixed the outside sign to read, "The Resurrection is postponed."

"People are like tea bags-you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

"God so loved the world that He did not send a committee."

"Come in and pray today. Beat the Christmas rush!"

"When down in the mouth, remember Jonah. He came out alright."

"Sign broken. Message inside this Sunday."

"Fight truth decay-study the Bible daily."

"How will you spend eternity-Smoking or Non-smoking?"

"Dusty Bibles lead to Dirty Lives"

"Come work for the Lord. The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world."

"Our arms are the only ones God has to hug His children."

"It is unlikely there'll be a reduction in the wages of sin."

"Do not wait for the hearse to take you to church."

"If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns."

"If you don't like the way you were born, try being born again."

"Looking at the way some people live, they ought to obtain eternal fire insurance soon."

"This is a ch_ _ ch. What is missing?" ---> (U R)

"Forbidden fruit creates many jams."

"In the dark? Follow the Son."

"Running low on faith? Stop in for a fill-up."

"If you can't sleep, don't count sheep. Talk to the Shepherd."

  4. I remember that visit too.! Can't believe it's been 5 years. Think I first found you in winter of 2009 when you were visiting Belle Starr down in Douglas, AZ. Lots of stories, beautiful photography, & life changes since then. I really relate to the "I thought growing old would take longer." But, wow - what a ride.!
