WE WERE USUALLY GONE FIVE OR SIX MONTHS

 ON OUR WAY TO GODERICH THIS MORNING FOR A FEW GROCERIES, WE STOPPED HERE AT THE MAITLAND MARKET

I didn't see any evidence of a frost overnight, so it may not have happened, and that is quite okay with me.  The longer the miseries of winter's approach stay away, the better.  In our RVing years, at this point in October we would only be a week and a half away from heading off to beloved Southwest, and I would be sooooooooo looking forward to that every year at this time.  We were usually gone for five or six months.  We never considered it a vacation; we thought of it as a welcome semi-annual lifestyle change.  First, heading off to what we considered our second home in the Great American Southwest in the Fall and then heading back to our Bayfield home in the Spring. But, once again, I have to give my head a shake and accept the fact that was then, and this is now.  I think we all suffer a little bit from that 'then and now' thing...........

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency. An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor. 'So, what is it?' grumbled the governor. 'Judge Garber has just died' said the attorney, 'and I want to take his place.' The governor replied: 'Well, it's OK with me if it's OK with the undertaker.'

One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously, and a genie appeared.
"I'll grant you your fondest wish," the genie said. The man thought for a moment, then said, "I want a spectacular job, a job that no man has ever succeeded at or has ever even dared try." "Poof!" said the genie. "You're a housewife."
