It was nice waking up this morning knowing we didn't have to be anywhere at any specific time. Next week so far we have three appointments. Two dental appointments for Kelly and one appointment for Pheebs at the Groomers. Well, that's so far anyway.

| THE HORSE BLANKET GANG WAS OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN TODAY |
Pheebs and I slowly cruised a few country roads searching for corn spills but all we found was one shovel full. It was a typical drab overcast late November day with an icy north wind blowing giving our 32F temp's a chill factor of 19F. And we had some Graupel in the air today too. Not a great day to be outside wandering around looking for photos.

I finished my latest book, 'The Train Jumper' by Gwen Banta. Despite a few dark twists and tragic turns, I did enjoy this book with its southern setting and humor. It kept me on the edge of my seat and reminded me of my boyhood days back in the 1950s. It's been a while since I last had my head stuck up into outer space to see what is happening so for my next read I chose 'The Alien Inquiry' by Steven D. McIntire. I needed an emotional rest after reading The Train Jumper.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A golfer was addressing his ball, getting ready to shoot. Just as he was about ready to hit, a voice came over the p.a. system - "Will the gentleman on the lady's tee please move back to the men's tee". He looked up, looked back down and then resumed addressing the ball again. The Voice again - "Will the Man on the Red tees PLEASE MOVE BACK to the White Tees?!" He looked back at the starters shack and yelled, "Will the IDIOT on the p.a. shut up so that the man on the lady's tee can hit his second shot"!----------------------------------
- On social media, I posted, “If anyone mentions Christmas before Thanksgiving, I'm going to delete them!” The next day, I didn’t have any friends.
- Why did the policeman stop you on your way home last Thanksgiving? Because you far exceeded your feed limit.
- Why did the turkey stand on stilts?
Because nobody eats flamingoes for Thanksgiving dinner.
- You know you overdid it on Thanksgiving...when you cut yourself shaving and you bleed gravy!

To you one shovel full of corn may not seem like much but to your little squirrels it will
ReplyDeletebe a feast,Mary
I agree with anonymous good job Al even if it is only one you are making a difference
ReplyDeleteThat first picture tonight was great in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOf course Free is always better & more fun - but, have you ever just asked a farmer if you can buy a big bucket of corn.? I think they only get about $6 US per bushel at market. Of course, that would require interaction & heavy as heck to carry (maybe need a couple old pillow cases to divide up the weight). Lol.! Or, if you see somebody transferring a load on roadside - ask, them to spill you a pile & you will pick it up later. Keep some money in your glove compartment - just in case the opportunity hits.! Your blog is always entertaining & sometimes gives me crazy ideas.! Enjoy the moments & as always, best wishes for You, Kelly, and Sweet Pheebs.
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh. The Flamingos and I Only Have Eyes for You. Wonderful wonderful. It's a great song to start with, both lyrics and music, and their version is just stunning. Hadn't thought of it in while. ....Thanks. One of my all time favorites.
