PHEEBS AND I TOOK THE BIG E FOR A SPIN AND A FELLOW BLOGGER COMES TO GRIPS WITH CHOOSING A WHEELCHAIR

We dilly dallied around the house too long this morning and by the time Pheebs and I got ourselves on the road the days heat and humidity were already on the rise.  No point in even thinking about a morning walk so we contented ourselves with an all windows down drive to Goderich whereupon we indulged in our usual routine between McDonalds and the harbor.  We were home again by 10:30.

LOTS OF FROG POSERS AROUND THE POND TODAY

  

Decided to take the Motorhome out for an exercise run so Pheebs and I did a couple paved country blocks.  Motorhome ran fine so no complaints.  With the wretched humidity upon us there was no point in staying outside trying to do anything else so the rest of the day we stayed inside where it was cool.  Going to be even hotter tomorrow and Sunday:((

IF WE WERE TO CONTINUE WESTERLY ALONG THIS HIGHWAY ANOTHER MILE AND QUARTER WE WOULD GO ‘KER-SPLASH’ RIGHT INTO LAKE HURON

THIS IS OUR RIG’S CONFIGURATION WHILE TRAVELING  (MINUS ONE RECLINER AT THE LEFT)

‘ARE WE THERE YET DAD’

PHEEBS LIKE RIDING ALONG ON THE ENGINE COVER COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE ‘DOG HOUSE’

JUST A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM OUR PARK’S GATE

I wonder how any of us would feel or cope with one day finding out we would have to spend the rest of our lives in a wheelchair.   Would we see it as a debilitating end or would we see it as a new and challenging beginning.  Be sure to read the Furry Gnome’s post over at ‘Seasons In The Valley’.  Choosing A Wheelchair

GROANER’S CORNER:(( I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

- Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

- You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

- I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" get's thrown around in the courtroom.

- I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.

- I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.I  feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning-

- Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers; if you find one, what's your plan?

A mother took her little boy to church. While in church the little boy said, "Mommy, I have to pee." The mother said to the little boy, "It's not appropriate to say the word 'pee' in church. So, from now on whenever you have to 'pee' just tell me that you have to 'whisper'."  The following Sunday, the little boy went to church with his father and during the service said to his father, "Daddy, I have to whisper." The father looked at him and said, "Okay, why don't you just whisper in my ear."

A MORNING BREAKFAST AND AN AFTERNOON TRIP TO THE VETS WITH PHEEBS

It was just Kelly and I in the Jeep this morning as we headed over to the Bayfield Berry Farm to meet Gayle and Richard for breakfast.  This is always a nice breakfast stop with it's big windows and colorful assortment of farm fresh fruits and vegetables.

SUMMER SKIES

CHICORY AND BEANS

I DON’T KNOW I GUESS THEY ARE JUST DOING BIRD STUFF

This afternoon it was all three of us in the Jeep heading for the Vet clinic in Zurich.  Pheebe is having problems with itchy ears again and a few days ago we noticed a small reddish sore about the size of a pencil eraser on her tail.  After checking her out the lady Vet said that growth mass on her tail has to come off so Pheebs is scheduled for surgery August 13th.  The growth is not painful to her but could be at any time as it continues to grow.  It will be a day surgery with her going in the morning and coming home in the afternoon.

SPOTTED SOMETHING SWIMMING IN A NARROW FLOODED CREEK WEDNESDAY

IT’S A MUSKRAT

BY THE SIZE OF THAT HEAD I’D SAY THAT’S A 45’ ROCK PYTHON WATCHING THE MUSKRAT……PYTHONS IN ONTARIO AL??  REALLY NOW…………………

A little puttering in the Motorhome.....but just a little.  Not much else going on today so we stayed in out of the heat.  Sounds like we’ll be trapped inside for the long week-end too with temperatures possibly soaring into the low 90’s:((

An old woman was sipping on a glass of wine, while sitting on the patio with her husband, and she says,  "I love you so much, I don't know how I could ever live without you"...Her husband asks, "Is that you, or the wine talking?  She replies, "It's me...talking to the wine."

JEEP’S WHEELS WERE DOING SOME MUD SLINGING SO HAD TO POP IT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE

Thunder, lightning and rain came in the night bringing in the first day of August.  Just think, a month from today and we'll be into September already.  Autumn approaches:))

SHARING

‘I DON’T LIKE SHARING’

‘DUM DE DUM DE DUM’ DE DUM’

‘WELL THE NERVE OF THAT LITTLE RODENT’!!

Missing her Tuesday morning Jeep ride Pheebs made it very clear she was not interested in sitting around the house for a second day.  Despite threatening skies and muddy roads she marched me out to the Jeep, stuck me behind the steering wheel and with one short curt bark said, 'DRIVE'!!  So drive I did do and away we went.

CLEARING SKIES OUT OVER THE LAKE EARLIER THIS MORNING AT BAYFIELD’S BEACH

Picked up a coffee in Bayfield and ventured out of town.  Less than half an hour later I had the Jeep in 4 wheel drive to keep from becoming stuck in the mud when we ventured down a dead end road alongside Kerr's Campground.  I sure have become a big fan of 4 wheel drive vehicles I'll tell ya.

WE WERE LUCKY TO GET TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK

 

TOOK US FOR A LITTLE WALK ON THE HARDER GRAVELY PART OF THE ROAD

THIS IS THE ROAD INSIDE THE PARK LEADING IN AND OUT OF THE CAMPGRUND

RV’S ARE PARKED ALONG A LOOP ROAD

For years I've driven by Kerr's Campground southeast of Varna Ontario but never ventured in until this morning.  There were far more rigs in there than what I had figured as I ended up counting 20.  Never saw anyone around and only two vehicles so I'm guessing the travel trailers and fifth wheels are owned by week-enders who come out Friday, Saturday, and Sundays.  Seen some Kid’s bikes so maybe it is family oriented.  This is a nice open space scenic country campground surrounded by rural farm lands and forests. 

CLOUDY DAY AT THE BEACH……KERR’S CAMPGROUND

LOOKS LIKE THE FOLKS HAVE THEMSELVES SOME NEW HORSESHOE PITS

<<< I THINK SOMEBODY DRAGGED HOME TOO MUCH FURNITURE

We were home shortly after 10 and with some extra energy on my side I put my RV hat on and spent the next few hours in and around the Motorhome.  Installed a new Sirius Satellite antennae on the roof then set about catching up on some interior cleaning.  Vacuuming, cleaning windows and mirrors etc.  I like it when I am able to comfortably accomplish things even if it's just cleaning up stuff.

A STUDY OF COWS

DID YOU NOTICE THE LONE TURKEY VULTURE HIGH IN THE SKY??

Haven’t mentioned this for awhile but just a reminder to readers.  Because of being hacked on Facebook twice through the ‘Friend Request’ feature I do not accept friend requests anymore.  Haven’t for a few years now.  Nothing personal, I just don’t need all that aggravation involved with being hacked.  I’m not a big Facebook fan or user anyway but I do thank a few loyal readers for their ‘Likes’:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A henpecked husband was advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife bully you," he said. "Go home and show her you're the boss."The husband decided to take the doctor's advice. He went home, slammed the door, saw his wife and growled, "From now on you're taking orders from me. I want my supper right now, and after you get it on the table, go upstairs and lay out my clothes. Tonight I am going out with the boys. You are going to stay at home where you belong. Another thing, you know who is going to tie my bow tie?"  "I certainly do," said his wife calmly, "the Undertaker."

A blonde walked in a diner and orders a cup of coffee. When she gets her drink, she notices that it has a "contest game piece" on the side of the cup. She peels off the sticker and instantly starts screaming, "I won a motor home!" She continues shoulting, "I won a motor home!" until the waitress decides to get her boss. "What's the problem here?" the manager asks. "I won a motor home!" she shouts again. "That's impossible!" he replies. "We didn't give out motor homes." She says "Well, it says so on this sticker." The boss takes the sticker and reads it. It says: "Win a bagel."     (Winnebago)
