THAT ALWAYS MAKES THINGS WORTHWHILE

 THIS KINDA SUMS UP MY MOOD FOR THE DAY

A slight touch of orange in this morning's sunrise did not result in sunshine, and we remained under a heavy cloud cover for the rest of the day.  A freezing rain advisory had been issued, but with our temps at 34°F I knew that was unlikely.  So, without further ado, and the windshield wipers going, I headed off down Bayfield River Road and out into the countryside.  I figured the rain might help wash some of the road salt off the car.  My camera didn't find much in the way of photos, but I enjoyed the slow drive through the wet, bleak-looking farmlands anyway.  I regularly have my music with me, and that always makes things worthwhile:))

 HEADING EAT ON BAYFIELD RIVER ROAD THIS MORNING, I CAME ACROSS THIS GAGGLE OF WILD TURKEYS CROSSING THE ROAD

 DESPITE DRIVING ALONG SLOW, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN EVEN MORE TO LET THE FELLAS CROSS

 ON THE RIGHT, ONE TURKEY TAKES TO THE AIR

SOON, THREE MORE TURKEYS WERE IN THE AIR, SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY THE REST

Here's something I found interesting today.  It's from a site called Elderly Roots.  It's about the 'Seven Silent Body Warnings Seniors Should Never Ignore'.  I don't normally include videos in my blog, but this one hits the nail right on the head for me, and I'm sure, many others.  I'm sure almost every Senior can identify and agree with these seven early warning signs of deteriorating health.  Here's the Link

 ALTHOUGH THE ROADS LOOKED SLIPPERY, THEY WERE NOT

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A woman rubbed a bottle and out popped a genie. The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes.  The genie said, "Nope, sorry, three-wish genies are a storybook myth. I'm a one-wish genie. So... what'll it be?"  The woman did not hesitate. She said, "I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and I want all the Arabs to love the Jews and Americans and vice versa. It will bring about world peace and harmony."  The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, "Lady, be reasonable. These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of shape after being in a bottle for five hundred years.. I'm good but not THAT good!  I don't think it can be done. Make another wish, and please be reasonable."  The woman thought for a minute and said, "Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know, one that's considerate and fun, romantic, likes to cook and help with the house cleaning, gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful.  That is what I wish for...a good man."  The genie let out a sigh and said, "Let me see the damn map again."

The little Moron was visiting his friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked him what their names were.  The little Moron's friend responded by saying that one was named Rolex and one was named Timex.  The little Moron said, 'Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?'  'Hey', answered the friend. 'They're 'watchdogs'!!
