WE ARE PRETTY DARNED GOOD AT WHAT WE DO

 SATURDAY NIGHT SUNSET
Took myself for a longer country road drive on this cool but sunny morning.  Missing my best Pal.  Took a few pics and tried to concentrate on the beautiful Spring scenery slowly passing by my window.  Thank heavens for my music.  I think we got up to a rousing 57F today.  Wiz and I went out for ice cream and a sunset Saturday night.

 THIS WAS PHEEBS FAVORITE AREA NEAR THE HOUSE
Not much happening today.  I managed to gather up and clean a bunch of nicely painted flower pots, which will be in the next batch of stuff destined for St. Vincent de Paul in Goderich.  A drive to Elliott's Liquidation in Clinton this afternoon netted Woodsy some goodies.  She does the shopping, and I do the waiting, and we are both pretty darn good at what we do.

Al's Music Box:)) Hit The Road Jack is a song recorded by Ray Charles. The song was a US number 1 hit in 1961, and won a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues recording, becoming one of Charles' signature songs. The song was written by Percy Mayfield, who first recorded it in 1960 as a cappella demo sent to music executive Art Rupe. It became famous after it was recorded by the singer-songwriter-pianist Ray Charles, with The Raelettes vocalist Margie Hendrix. Charles's recording hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning on Monday, October 9, 1961. "Hit the Road Jack" won a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording. The song was number one on the R&B Sides chart for five weeks, thereby becoming Charles's sixth number-one on that chart. The song was ranked number 387 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2010 list of "The Greatest Songs of All Time".  In 2013, the 1961 recording by Ray Charles on the ABC-Paramount label was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Groaner's Corner:(( You might be a Redneck if::

- You take a fishing pole to Sea World.

- The hood and one door are a different color from the rest of your car.

Y- ou've ever filled your deer tag on the golf course.

- Santa Claus refuses to let your kids sit in his lap.

- Your toilet paper has page numbers on it.

- My wife and her sister fell out on a holiday trip…The rest of the balloon flight was, however, peaceful!

- My friend asked me if I was ready to go to nudist party.  I said, "I was born ready"

- A missing comma in a sentence can make a huge difference.  For instance, “Let’s eat, Frank has a completely different meaning from“Let's eat Frank.”

- My wife traumatically ripped the blankets off me last night.  But I will recover

- 1.7% of Americans over the age of 30 are married to their 3rd cousin. Not sure why they didn't figure it out after they married their first two cousins.

  2. As usual Al, thanks for the great shots around and about, love the way Pheebs is paying such close attention to Kelly in that one shot. Also loved the colorful artwork, especially the woman with cats. Have a mellow day and keep enjoying the music.
