THESE ARE GRAY NOVEMBER DAYS

 I DIDN'T TAKE ANY PHOTOS TODAY

It was heartening to see Kelly feeling a touch better this morning.  Our biggest fear right now is that she will suddenly start bleeding again.

-------------------------------------------

We needed a few things from Walmart this morning so it was a quick trip to Goderich and back for Pheebs and I in a slightly cold snowy rain drizzle.  No drive down around the harbor but a quick stop at Richard and Gayles on the way home to see how they were doing.  They are basically in the same boat Kelly and I are in.  These are difficult times for all four of us. Kelly spent the day either in her bed or her recliner.  Amongst other things, it is still the back pain giving her the most grief.  These are gray November days.................

Al's Music Box:)) A double whammy in tonight's Music Box.......Please Help Me, I'm Falling is a 1960 song written by Don Robertson and Hal Blair and first recorded by Hank Locklin. The single was Locklin's most successful recording and was his second number-one on the country charts.  "Please Help Me, I'm Falling" spent 14 weeks at the top spot and spent nine months on the country chart, and crossed over to the Hot 100 peaking at number eight.  Later in 1960, Skeeter Davis had a hit with an answer record titled "I Can't Help You (I'm Falling Too)", which peaked at number two for three weeks on the Hot C&W Sides charts and number 39 on the Hot 100. I Can't Help You (I'm Falling Too) is a song written by Hal Blair, Skeeter Davis, and Don Robertson. In 1960, Skeeter Davis recorded and released the song as a single for RCA Victor. It was an answer song to Hank Locklin's major country pop crossover hit entitled, "Please Help Me, I'm Falling". It was Davis' second answer song in response to a Locklin tune.  "(I Can't Help You) I'm Falling Too" was recorded on May 13, 1960, at the RCA Victor Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The song was released as a single in July 1960, and it peaked at number two on the Billboard Magazine Hot C&W Sides chart later and number thirty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100. The single became Davis' highest-charting single to that point and her fourth solo hit. It also became her first single to chart on the Hot 100. In the later months, the song was issued onto Davis' second studio album entitled, Here's the Answer.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, "I'm not going."  "Why not?" she asked."I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "One, they don't like me, and two, I don't like them."  His mother replied, "I'll give YOU two good reasons why you SHOULD go to church. One, you're 54 years old, and two, you're the pastor!"

Eight-year-old Sally brought her report card home from school. Her marks were good...mostly A's and a couple of B's.
However, her teacher had written across the bottom: "Sally is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit."
Sally's dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back: "Please let me know if your idea works on Sally because I would like to try it out on her mother."
