AND THEN 'POOF' IT WAS GONE

 ERECTED IN 1847 THIS GODERICH LIGHTHOUSE IS THE LONGEST STANDING LIGHTHOUSE ON LAKE HURON'S CANADIAN SHORELINE

An orangy pink sunrise through our pine trees lasted only a few minutes and then 'poof' it was gone and we returned immediately to our standard gray day.  With prescriptions to drop off and prescriptions to pick up at the Walmart Pharmacy, Pheebs and I headed off to Goderich with a few extra stops in mind.  That done, we were home again before noon.  Too windy and freezing cold to set foot out the door again except to top up the birdfeeders.  At the time of posting this tonight the impending winter storm is at our doorstep and it's raining.  When temps drop tonight and that rain turns to snow I fully expect I will be on the end of my snow shovel in the morning.

Al's Music Box:)) I Remember You  Australian singer Frank Ifield recorded this song in a yodeling country-music style on 27 May 1962.  It was a popular song published in 1941. The music was written by Victor Schertzinger, with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The song was originally recorded by Jimmy Dorsey in 1941.  In that year, Mercer began an affair with 19-year-old Judy Garland, while she was engaged to composer David Rose. Garland ended her involvement when she married Rose. In later years, Garland and Mercer rekindled their affair. Mercer stated that his song "I Remember You" was the most direct expression of his feelings for Garland.

GROANER'S CORNERBoy Scouts from the city were on a camping trip. The mosquitoes were so fierce, the boys had to hide under their blankets to avoid being bitten. Then one of them saw some lightning bugs and said to his friend,  "We might as well give up. They are coming after us with flashlights.":((

How do you identify a bald eagle?  All his feathers are combed over to one side.

“A perfect parent is a person with excellent child-rearing theories and no actual children.”

I don't have a swear jar because I don't make enough money to keep up with my mouth.

“Just be good and kind to your children. Not only are they the future of the world, they’re the ones who can sign you into a home.”

If they didn't expect you to dance in the grocery store aisles then why do they play music!!
