OF COURSE, I FORGOT IT WAS THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEK-END

A gentle knock on my door a couple of weeks ago, led me to A&W this morning with a breakfast coupon in my hand.  A nice lady in our Park, with a few extra A&W coupons, thought of me and brought three of the breakfast coupons over. She knew of my occasional breakfast trips to A&W, from reading my blog.  I thought that was mighty nice of her.  

 IT'S NOT OFTEN I SEE GOATS IN MY TRAVELS BUT BY GOLLY, I SAW SOME THIS MORNING

 THIS LITTLE FELLOW HAD A MONDAY MORNING CLEANUP JOB GOING ON

 IN ANOTHER FIELD CLOSER TO HOME THIS LLAMA KEEPS A CLOSE EYE ON MY WHILE I STOP TO TKE A FEW PICS

 IN THE SAME FIELD, SOMETHING UNUSUAL CAUGHT MY EYE

 COULD IT BE A CAT OR MAYBE A LYNX

IT'S DEFINITELY A CAT, ALRIGHT, AND I FIGURE IT MUST BE BEST PALS WITH THAT SHEEP CLOSE BY

 SHEEP ON A SLOPE

My main purpose for going to Goderich earlier today was to renew my driver's license at the Service Ontario place.  Of course, I forgot it was the long holiday weekend and Service Ontario was closed for the day.  I should have clued in when turning down the street, to see all the parking spaces empty.  But no, I had to go and yank on the door anyway.  Lots of people at the beach though.

 LOTS OF PEOPLE AT THE BEACH WITH MORE ARRIVING

A NICE DAY TO BE OUT AND ABOUT ON THE BOARDWALK

 I THINK THIS COUPLE ARE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A SELFIE WITH A LONG SELFIE STICK

 ALWAYS NICE TO SEE PEOPLE OUT WALKING THEIR DOGS

 SEAGULLS SCRAMBLING FOR SNACKS TOSSED THEIR WAY BY OBLIGING BEACH GOERS

Home again, I took things easy and simply spent time outside around the yard, thoroughly enjoying what I would call a perfect weather day.  Deep blue azure skies with a smattering of white puffy clouds slowly plodded their way across the early August sky.  A gentle breeze coupled with 73F temperatures mixed the Sun's warming rays to perfection.

 A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER'S DAY

 A GAGGLE OF GEESE AT A NEIGHBORING FARM

 I THINK THIS IS A TUFTED TITMOUSE AT ONE OF THE FEEDER'S TODAY

 AND THIS LITTLE DOWNIE WOODPECKER FROPPED IN FOR A FEW SEEDS

 FERN FROND SHADOWS ON A ROCK BESIDE THE FROG POND

 I SURE HOPE THESE TWO FROGGY PALS DIDN'T HAVE A SPAT TODAY

 JUST SITTING ON MY PORCH THIS AFTERNOON ENJOYING THIS WONDERFUL WEATHER DAY

GROANER'S CORNER:(( They say that an apple a day will keep the doctor away...Why stop there?  An onion a day will keep everybody away!

- San Francisco isn't just funny it's hill areas.

- Health inspector: "I'm afraid you have too many roaches in here." Restaurant owner: "How many am I allowed?"

- Yesterday I saw a guy spill all his Scrabble letters on the road.  I asked him, “What’s the word on the street?"

- I got my daughter a fridge for her birthday.  I can’t wait to see her face light up when she opens it.

Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.

Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you a referee.

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!

I believe we should all pay our taxes with a smile. I tried – but they wanted cash.

A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.

Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.

Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.

You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it.

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it.

My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

You're getting old when you enjoy remembering things more than doing them.

It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something

They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak!

Man: Is there any way for long life?
Dr: Get married.
Man: Will it help?
Dr: No, but then the thought of long life will never come.

Why do couples hold hands during their wedding? It's a formality just like two boxers touching gloves before the fight begins!

Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?
Husband: Let us have a moment of silence for 2 minutes.

There is only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it.

There is only one perfect wife in the world and every neighbor has one!
