KELLY'S RECLINER DECISION IS PENDING

A SNOW STREAMER COMING IN OFF LAKE HURON OVERNIGHT DUMPED ABOUT AN INCH OF SNOW ON US
We woke up to a white landscape this morning.  I don't much like when that happens but here we are. 

ON OUR WAY TO GODERICH THIS MORNING THROUGH A COMBINATION OF RAIN AND SNOW
Rethinking her recliner chair decision late last week, Kelly, stopped into Goderich's Home Hardware (furniture division) again to have a look at a different chair and saw one she had previously overlooked and liked better.  This morning we headed off to Goderich to have another look at that chair.  Kelly's recliner decision is pending...................   

 PATIENTLY WAITING IN THE HOME HARDWARE PARKING LOT
PHEEBS WASN'T THE ONLY DOGGY IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING

Al's Music Box:)) Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain by Willie Nelson.  In October 1975, the song became Nelson's first No. 1 hit as a singer, and at year's end, was the third-biggest song of 1975 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.  In 1975 at the 18th Annual Grammy Awards, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" won Willie a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male. It was his first Grammy out of twelve he would go on to win.  

GROANER'S CORNER:((  An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight, he had made a really bad landing and hammered his 747 Jumbo Jet onto the runway really hard. The airline had a policy that required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline." He said that in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally, everyone had gotten off except for this little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?" "Why no Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down?"

Another flight Attendant's comment on a less-than-perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what ya'll are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendants' fault.....it was the asphalt!"

Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day. During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant came on the PA and announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

  3. Your last 2 groaners are perfect!! Would love to have seen pics of what Kelly is choosing between. I envy her. When I needed a new recliner because mine was so old, The only ones I could find in our town were giant size and made out of nagahide. I looked like Edith Anne. Wonder how many remember her??
