AFTER SO MANY TURBULENT YEARS DECADES AGO

 FOR OVER 20 YEARS, MY LITTLE FRONT YARD FROG POND WATERFALL HAS BEEN RUNNING (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WINTER)

It was another nice late August evening as I headed for my walking spot Saturday night.  Not as cold as the night before, and I watched the sun go down as I trod along the way.  After my walk, I decided to head off in a different direction for a change so I pointed Subie's nose south, and away we went down through Varna to the first concession road and turned right.  We were in wind turbine territory now and heading west into what was left of the sunset.  I felt a touch of sadness when I pulled off the road at an area where Pheebs and I often walked.  I sure miss my little Pal on these drives.  Continuing on, I soon arrived in Bayfield as darkness slowly enveloped the land.  A drive down Bayfield's Main Street, and a stop at the beach to sit and listen to the gentle waves lapping on the shore.  I am so fortunate, after so many turbulent years decades ago, to live in such a peaceful area now in my Senior years.  Something, or someone,  sure has been looking after me.

 SATURDAY EVENING'S GOLDEN GLOW OVER THE LAND AS I HEAD TO MY WALKING SPOT ON THE HORIZON

 LATER, IT WAS A PEACEFUL, SLOW DRIVE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE SOUTHWEST OF VARNA

Sunday morning dawned another beautiful sunny morning with deep blue skies and big white puffy clouds.  After my country road walk, I headed off to Goderich's Walmart Pharmacy with a prescription to drop off and one to pick up.  On my way there, I did my usual coffee to go at McD's, and then down to the harbor for a swing out and around Rotary Cove.  From Walmart, it was straight home I went.  I had grass to water and a few more windows to clean, etc.

Oh, I am so doomed.   I made the mistake of clicking on an internet site that said, 'We Ranked The Worst Foods To Eat After 60'.  According to this site, I should have been gone over 20 years ago.  I had to stop reading at number 24 after checking off all the boxes, and it's obvious to me that I am truly living on borrowed time here at the age of well over 80.  Oh dear, are there any eating pleasures left at all?  But, on the positive side....natural (no additives) crunchy peanut butter was not on the list.  'Wow', so that explains my longevity:)))))

 NO, IT'S NOT MANDATORY IN CANADA TO SEAT BELT ONE'S GROCERY BAG TO THE SEAT....THE BAG WAS HEAVY ENOUGH TO SET OFF THE SEAT ALARM, SO I DECIDED TO BELT THE GROCERIES IN RATHER THAN MOVE THEM TO THE BACK SEAT

 SAW THIS NEAT OLD CAR HEADING DOWN TO THE HARBOR

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One day, three unemployed factory workers heard that a large food company was enlarging and needed more staff. So they went downtown to see if they could get themselves a job. After filling out their applications, each one was interviewed and each one managed to get hired. As they were waiting to be assigned their new duties, a foreman came by and spoke to the hiring boss. The foreman told the boss that he didn't think it was such a good idea as one of the workers had snapped for no apparent reason at his last job. Also a second was said to have had cracked up after severe mental stress. The third, he believed was their father who he felt was a bit odd but he couldn't put his finger on it. The hiring boss reassured the foreman and said that they would start on something easy and after a week, the company would re-assess them to see if they would be kept on. The foreman reluctantly agreed and asked the boss where he thought they should start. The boss replied, "Why not take them and put them in our Cereal Division...Snap, Crackle and Pop should work out fine down there."

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?"

The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't hear the question. "Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated. The witness still did not respond. Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question." "Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."
