I WONDER IF ANYBODY RECOGNIZED WOODSY

It was another ice cream delight for Woodsy and I on Wednesday evening.  This time it was at the Woodland Drive-In for a couple of soft ice cream twist cones. (vanilla & chocolate) Cloudy skies were looking ominous, and while waiting for the cones, the first peels of thunder came rolling in across the lake.  It wasn't long before a few raindrops landed on our windshield and chased us home.  But, not before our usual cruise through and around Bayfield.

Thursday, I just simply ran out of hours and didn't get around to writing a post.  In the morning, ContinuIT (computer place) phoned Monica, saying her cell phone and computer tablet were ready, so while in Goderich later, Woodsy and I picked them up for her.  Monica was later a happy camper to have her phone and tablet back and working well again.  It wasn't a serious virus that had made them both go wonky, but some advertising sites had got in....  Late Thursday evening, Woodsy and I decided to go out to eat for a change.  Lorraine had never been to Renegades Diner, so off we went.  Fish'n'Chips for Wiz and an open-face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy for me.  Following that, it was a cruise through Bayfield and then out to my country road walk spot for an evening stroll.  A nice way to wrap up another mighty fine midsummer's day.

 IN GODERICH, THURSDAY WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF CAIT'S CAFE I SAW THIS LITTLE DOGGY WITH HIS MOM PATIENTLY WAITING FOR DAD TO COME OUT OF THE CAFE WITH SOME YUMMY MUFFIN SNACKS

Overnight temperatures dropped into the high 50's making for a cooler start to Friday.  I decided to dispense with my morning country road drive and instead take advantage of the cooler morning air and continue with my little outside project near the carport.  I was able to shovel up a bunch of pea stone gravel embedded in the ground in that area and then, using a wood-framed metal strainer sitting atop the wheelbarrow, shake all the dirt off those stones so I could re-use the pea stone in the area where the utility trailer sits.  I raked out the already roto-tiled area and then went over it with a hand-pulled roller.  Following that, I grass-seeded the area and watered it.  That all took me close to an hour, and by that time temps had ramped up from 56F to over 70F, and the humidity was climbing, so that was my cue to call it a day as far as doing any more puttering around outside.  I was done.  It was 10:45 a.m. and we were on the cusp of a predicted 3-day heat wave.  Not much else happening today.  Woodsy busied herself making another big batch of chicken soup while I exchanged a few pieces of furniture between the living room and the sunroom.  Say, I wonder if anybody recognized Woodsy in a photo I had in the blog a couple of nights ago where folks were gathered in Bayfield's Pioneer Park to watch the sunset:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A young couple were on their honeymoon. The husband was sitting in the bathroom on the edge of the bathtub, saying to himself, "Now, how can I tell my wife that I've got really smelly feet and that my socks absolutely stink? I've managed to keep it from her while we were dating, but she's bound to find out sooner or later that my feet stink. Now, how do I tell her?"  Meanwhile, the wife was sitting in the bed saying to herself, "Now, how do I tell my husband that I've got really bad breath? I've been very lucky to keep it from him while we were courting, but as soon as he's lived with me for a week, he's bound to find out. Now, how do I tell him gently?"  The husband finally plucks up enough courage to tell his wife and so he walks into the bedroom. He walks over to the bed, climbs over to his wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves his face very close to hers and says, "Darling, I have a confession to make."  And she says, "So have I, love."  To which he replies, "Don't tell me, you've eaten my socks."

A wife asks her husband: "What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy body?"  He looks at her from head to toe and replied: “I like your sense of humor!”

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt, and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan."  Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are twins--if you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

I PICKED UP THE TWO GROCERY SHOPPERS ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER

It was about 7:40 Tuesday night when Woodsy rolled in from Stratford.  'Yay Team':)) Within twenty minutes, we were in the Subaru and headed into Bayfield for ice cream, and this time, we stopped at Copenhagens on Main Street.  Lorraine had herself a Key Lime cone, which she really enjoyed, and I had my usual Pralines and Cream.  From there, it was a short drive around Bayfield and then over to Pioneer Park for a few sunset pics.  There were a lot of people gathered to watch old Sol slowly dip into Lake Huron.

I wanted to get myself a walk in this morning before it got too hot, so I hustled out to my walking spot and enjoyably did my half mile.  Managed a few pics on my way back home.

Our good neighbor Monica's cell phone and computer tablet had both gone wonky at the same time a couple days ago, and she suspects a virus.  This morning, Monica, Woodsy, and I, in the Subaru, drove up to Goderich and stopped at ContinueIT' where Monica took her phone and Tablet in for the techy folks to have a look at.  I went in with Monica and we explained the problem to the same young techie lady who had helped me out with a computer problem a few months ago.  She tried a couple of quick things and determined it was not likely a virus but some advertising site that had somehow downloaded into Monica's phone, and then her tablet.  Busy with another customer at the time, the techie lady said to leave the devices and she would call Monica later.  With that, we three headed to Food Basics, where I dropped Monica and Woodsy off and I headed over to McD's for a coffee to go.  I picked up the two grocery shoppers about 10 minutes later, and off for home we went.  Monica never did get a call this afternoon to pick up her phone and tablet.  Maybe tomorrow, and we will pick it up for her.

I had things to do outside, but decided to wait for cooler weather.  If I fired up my roto-teller, I would just end up turning myself into an uncomfortable, soggy mess again.  Spent most of the afternoon inside, staying cool with the exception of a short drive to Clinton, where Woodsy wanted to browse around at Elliot's Liquidation.  She came out empty-handed.  A second stop at Clinton's Foodland and back home we went on a very pleasant sunny and warm Wednesday afternoon.  A nice breeze from the southwest today.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A husband stepped on one of those penny scales that tell you your fortune and weight and dropped in a coin.  "Listen to this," he said to his wife, showing her a small, white card. "It says I'm energetic, bright, resourceful and an round great person."  "Yeah," his wife nodded, "and it has your weight wrong, too!"

Q: How many archaeologists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Three. One to change it and two to argue about how old the old bulb was.

Q: How many preservation society members does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: One, but it takes a year to find an antique Edison light bulb so it'll be architecturally accurate.

Q: How many Einsteins does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: That depends on the speed of the changer, and the mass of the bulb. Or vice versa, of course. Then it just might be easier to leave the bulb alone and change the room. It's all relative.

I went to the doctors recently. He said, "Don't eat anything fatty." I said, "What, like bacon and burgers?"  He said, "No, I mean you, Fatty, don't eat anything!"

A 6 year old was asked where his grandmother lived. ''Oh,'' he said, ''She lives at the airport and when we want her we just go get her. Then, when we're we've done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.''
