A WHOLE WEEK OF SUNDAYS

Aside from having to drop off a prescription at Goderich's Walmart Pharmacy and pick up a few things while in the store, there really wasn't much going on today.  Just another Sunday in a whole week of Sundays.  I will leave you with a few pics..... 

IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE A FEW PATCHES OF BLUE SKY TODAY
 HEADING HOME THIS MORNING
Al's Music Box:)) The Shifting Whispering Sands Jim Reeves recorded his version of this song in 1961.  It is a Western song and poem written by Vivian Clark Gilbert and his wife Mary Margaret Hadler. It has been widely recorded and was one of the top songs in the U.S. in 1955 and again in 1962. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.  The song/poem begins with a narration by an unnamed man who is prospecting for gold in the Western U.S. He wanders into the deserted "valley of the shifting, whispering sands", and describes its desolate, frightening environment. After wandering there for "days and weeks" and using all his food and water, he escapes in some unknown way. He "pays his final debt" for being spared by telling what he learned out in the desert. 

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A truck brimming with Worcestershire sauce meanders through the quaint Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, en route to Rhosllannerchrugog in Wrexham. Unexpectedly, it collides with a Nissan Qashqai.  Veering uncontrollably, the truck subsequently smashes into a car from Llanfihangel Tre’r Beirdd, injuring two Otorhinolaryngologists inside. As one, already grappling with Schistosomiasis, succumbs to a myocardial infarction, a bystander, dialing emergency services on his Huawei, hastily reports the chaotic scene. The dispatcher inquires, "Can you tell me what happened?"  He responds, "It's hard to say."

“By the time someone says, ‘To make a long story short,’ it’s too late.”

 

“The nice thing about egotists is that they don’t talk about other people.”

A couple of young children are at daycare one day when one of the little girls approaches Tommy and says, "Hey, Tommy, wanna play house?"  "Sure! What do you want me to do?" he asks.  The little girl replies, "I want you to communicate your feelings."  "Communicate my feelings?" questions a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means..." The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband."
