A SATURDAY MORNING COFFEE TOUR WITHOUT THE PHEEBS

Because of inclement weather and the fact we had the cable guy coming a couple mornings ago and due to Richard and Gayle having to go to Port Huron at the same time Richard and I missed our semi-monthly Thursday morning coffee tour.  We made up for that this morning.  Despite cloudy skies and plowing through an occasional rain shower we made our way up through Mennonite Country.  It was my turn to drive and as usual we had ourselves a great yakky-doodle morning.  Good stuff.

Skies finally cleared and we ended our day in sunshine.  Took Pheebs for an evening walk around the Pine Tree trail.  Sad to see so many trees being cut down:((

GROANER’S CORNER:((  On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students: "The female dormitory is out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. The second time you will be fined $60. A third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" A male student inquired, "How much for a season pass?"

The math teacher saw that Daphne wasn't paying attention in class.  She called on her and said, 'Daphne! What are 7 and 2, and 28 and 44?'
Daphne quickly replied, 'ABC, CBS, HBO and the Cartoon Network!'

A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus. "It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said. "Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation." The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?" "Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Canoe.

Canoe who?

Canoe come out to play or what?

  1. Are the Pines being cut down because of damage and disease? It's always so sad to lose trees.

    1. No, the trees are healthy but reaching maturity plus each one of those trees is worth $$ to the land owner.
