OFF TO LONDON'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL THIS MORNING AND STILL HAPPILY CONTENT TO SEE AN RV IN OUR DRIVEWAY

DRIVING THROUGH HORSE COUNTRY NORTHWEST OF LONDON ONTARIO
Yet another fantabulous sunny blue sky morning with big fluffy white clouds floating lazily by overhead.  Another fine morning to be out and about doing something, anything just as long as it was outside.  Started our morning off about 55F.  Oh how sweet it was.  El Perfecto:))  Double Jeep ride for Pheebs this morning with the first one being in and around Bayfield.

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF BAYFIELD'S BEACH HAS BEGUN
I EXPECT BAYFIELD'S SMALL BEACH HERE WILL BE RE-DONE WITH LARGE BOULDERS
CONE FLOWERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE OF MINE
AN OLD FENCE ALONGSIDE THE BAYFIELD CEMETERY....WAS SOME TRYING TO GET IN OR WAS SOMEONE TRYING TO GET OUT
Second ride for Pheebs saw all three of us in the Jeep heading out the driveway about 9:50 a.m.  Our morning's destination was London's University Hospital where Kelly had an ultra-sound appointment for 11.  Nice drive to London and we dropped Kelly off at the hospital's front door not quite an hour later.  Knew we had about an hour or so to put in so Pheebs and I headed northwest out of the city to dust up a few country roads nearby.  I like seeing all the horse ranches in that area.  About 45 minutes later my phone rang and it was Kelly saying she was ready go.  Ten minutes after that we picked her up and with coffee's and snacks to go from McDonald's in the Masonville Mall we were soon headed home.  Beautiful sunny drive all the way and we rolled into our driveway shortly after 1 o'clock.

NORTHWEST OF LONDON THIS MORNING
I THOUGHT FOR SURE I HAD SPOTTED A ZEBRA IN THE DISTANCE BUT WHEN I ENLARGED THE PHOTO IN MY EDITING PROGRAM I SAW MY FOLLY
A REAL HORSE??  LOOK CLOSER
Great weather for getting things done but about all the doing done I got did amounted to about the big fat square root of nothing.  I used to blame bouts of tiredness on a poor night's sleep but my sleeping seems to be okay these days.  Maybe it's just a silly age-related thing.

DOGGY IN THE GRASS FIELD
For 13 years we always had an RV sitting outside in its own spot just off our driveway.  Then we didn't have an RV for over a year and it bothered me every time I looked out our window to see that big empty space.  Even if it turned out we never went anywhere in the Winnie it just gives me a good feeling to look out and see an RV parked there.  It mentally reassures me we have the option of travel any time we want to go out there and turn the key.  When we had the big 'bare spot' we had no RV option.  No travels to look forward to.  No plans, no dreams.  No looking forward to going somewhere and no looking forward to coming home again.  Every time I look out that window now.....I feel good:))

'HERE COMES MOM WITH THE SNACKS DAD'
HERE'S PHEEBS AND I DRIVING MISS KELLY HOME
How nice not having to run our A/C or fans these last few days.  Early mornings and evenings are cool enough for long sleeve shirts and jackets and that is A-OK with me.  I am definitely feeling the early tugs of Autumn.  Kelly finally sleuthed out my latest Prostate Cancer PSA number and it once again has dropped.  From 15.4 a year ago just weeks ahead of my radiation treatments to .45 last winter to .30 in the spring and now in August to .27.  Thanks to the Doctors for keeping tabs on me these last 10 years or that cancer would still be growing inside me and I wouldn't even have known about it until it was too late....................

OUR PARK'S POND AT SUNSET TUESDAY NIGHT
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.  He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.  This made him A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

- Did you hear about the new restaurant that just opened up on the moon? Great food, but no atmosphere.

- Did you hear about the psychic amnesiac? He knew in advance what he was going to forget.

  1. Al, again tonight you out did yourself with the fantastic photos. I too did a double take on the Zebra.

    Happy to hear your number has continued to drop. Will say a prayer that Kelly gets a good report also.

  2. Congrats on the good number. I had to go back and look at that metal horse and then was reminded of Borrego Springs. I sure hope to be in that area again one day.

  3. Congratulations on your PSA numbers. Having the RV parked by your home gives you a good feeling because the RV gives you options and choices. I loved the Target joke.

  4. Umm, I would say that you accomplished a good deal what with all that driving and touring with the Pheebs. Great news on your numbers.
