OH GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS

 IN OUR SUNROOM
Oh goody goody gumdrops, the snow has all melted:)) For now that is:((  Morning sunshine brightened the day, and I was up earlier than usual and dressed.  Not because of the sunshine, but because we had an Eastlink (internet/TV) technician arriving somewhere between 8:30 and noon.  In fact, two work vans showed up at 9 a.m.  Turns out one of them was a supervisor who travels around and monitors employees.  A nice couple of fellas who ended up being here for over an hour.  They replaced all the internet and TV connectors before installing new hardware for a newer and more cost-effective program lineup package that I requested.  Of course, they ran into some technical glitches, but handled them with ease.  I'm always amazed at how fast and efficient these younger people are on their cellphones and stuff.  Me, well I'm still trying to make it through a thick manual of instructions on how to change a light bulb.

 TWO VANS SHOWED UP
 THIS IS A SEPARATE COMPANY THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE EASTLINK DOING INSTALLATIONS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Aside from a drive to Clinton and back this afternoon for Woodsy and I, there really isn't much else to write about.  I didn't have many photos for the post, so I slipped out into the front yard late this afternoon and snapped a few.

 HEADING INTO CLINTON THIS AFTERNOON UNDER A BIG PICTURESQUE SKY
WALKING AROUND THE FRONT YARD LOOKING FOR A FEW PICS
 THIS PERIWINKLE WILL REMAIN GREEN ALL WINTER UNDER THE SNOW
 A FEW PLANTS UNDER THE TALL PINE TREES WERE SPARED FROM THE HEAVY FROST A FEW NIGHTS AGO

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Some coffee humor::

- A customer walks into a coffee shop. She asks the barista, “How much for a cup of coffee?” The barista points to the menu and says, “Five dollars for a cup of coffee and refills are free.” The customer responds, “Thanks. I’ll have a refill.”


- Don’t ever let anyone tell you fairy tales aren’t real. I wake up every morning to drink a potion made from magic beans that brings me back to life.

- Every morning, I see this exhausted woman who looks like she would murder someone for a cup of coffee. I really should move that mirror.

Q: What’s it called when you steal someone’s coffee?
A: A mugging!

Q: Why did the espresso keep checking his watch?
A: Because he was pressed for time.

Q: What did the coffee addict name her cats?
A: Cream and Sugar.

Q: What did the coffee say about its late assignment?
A: Better latte than never!

Q: What do you call a sad cup of coffee?
A: A depresso

Q: How are coffee beans like teenagers?
A: They are always getting grounded.

Q: What do you call it when you walk into a cafe you’re sure you’ve been to before?
A: Déjà brew.

- You mocha me very happy.

Y- ou’re brew-ti-ful.

- A woman walks into a coffee shop carrying a big chunk of asphalt under her arm. At the counter she says, “I’ll take a large latte for myself, please, and one for the road.”

- There are two types of people in this world: People who love Starbucks and liars.

If you replace your morning coffee with green tea….You can lose up to 87% of what little joy you feel in the morning.

She drank so much coffee at work, she considered it part of her daily grind.

A yawn is just a silent scream for coffee.

Coffee and I are the perfect blend.

Procaffeinating  – the tendency to not start anything until you’ve had your coffee.

I like my men like I like my coffee…Tall, dark and rich.

A teacher says, “Okay, class. Today, we're going to be talking about the tenses. If I say ‘I'm beautiful,' which tense is it?”  Little Johnny raises his hand and says, “Obviously past tense, Miss.”

IT REMINDED ME OF SPRING

A windy, damp, and cold grey November day kept us inside, and I was able to catch up on my reading.  With temperatures above freezing, most of our snow has already melted, and with the sounds of dripping outside, it reminded me of Spring.

 THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF OUR SUNROOM
 WOODSY MADE 15 BUTTER TARTS AND BROUGHT THEM WITH HER YESTERDAY...THEY'RE THE BEST: AND ALREADY SHE CAN'T FIND 4 OF THEM:))
AND, SHE GOT ME THESE SOCKS TOO

 DID YOU NOTICE THAT THIS LITTLE LEAF IS LOOKING TO THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PHOTO
GROANR'S CORNER:(( A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

If the refrigerator and TV weren't so far apart, some of us wouldn't get any exercise at all.

Two hunters are walking through a forest looking for deer. When all of a sudden, a giant bear jumps out and scares the bejeebers out of them. They drop their guns and run.  One of the hunters stopped, opened up his backpack, and laced up a pair of tennis shoes. His buddy looked at him and said, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? You can't outrun the bear!"  To this, the hunter said, "I know, all I have to do is outrun you!"
