WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT 'APPLE' WAS PHONING ME TONIGHT

Twas an icy wind that thwarted my morning walk, and I instead slipped into Bayfield to pick up a few things for Lorraine's butter tart baking project this afternoon.  A drive down around the cold and gray harbor netted me a few photos, and I was surprised by the lack of traffic on the area roads.  Not that there ever is much anyway, unless it's the busy summer tourist season.  

 BAYFIELD'S BEACH THIS MORNING

COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF A GOOSE FEUD GOING ON HERE

 ALL BETTER NOW

 CANADA GEESE FEEDING IN THE SHALLOW WATER ALONG LAKE HURON'S SHORELINE

 IN A FEW MONTHS THERE WILL BE ICE AND SNOW OUT THERE FOR AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

Continuit, the computer place, called early this afternoon saying my laptop computer was fixed and ready for pickup.  With that, Lorraine and I were off to Goderich, complete with a shopping list under overcast skies. Five stops altogether, with one of them being the computer place.  The problem had something to do with the laptop's battery, but I didn't understand all the techy speak.  Bottom line....my laptop is working again.

 FROM THE FOOD BASICS PARKING LOT I SPOTTED THESE TWO FELLOWS ON A ROOF,,,,I CALL IT, 'FIDDLERS ON THE ROOF'

What if I told you that 'APPLE' was phoning me tonight!!  You probably wouldn't believe me.  But they are, and precisely at 7:48 p.m. they said.  Andrew is coming over at 7:30, and tomorrow I'll tell you why 'Apple' called, and why Andrew came over.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel." "I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents." "The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37." "Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

Christopher Columbus was the best deal maker in history. He left not knowing where he was going, and upon arriving, not knowing where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on borrowed money.

On the first day of school, the children brought gifts for their teacher. The florist's son brought the teacher a bouquet of flowers. The candy-store owner's daughter gave the teacher a pretty box of candy. Then the liquor-store owner's son brought up a big, heavy box. The teacher lifted it up and noticed that it was leaking a little bit. She touched a drop of the liquid with her finger and tasted it. "Is it wine?" she guessed. "No," the boy replied. She tasted another drop and asked, " Champagne?
"No," said the little boy... "It's a puppy!"
