SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE WE ARE LIVING IN RECLINERVILLE

Bit of a different start to our day.  Heard the pitter-patter of tiny feet and a soft squeaky little voice coming down our hallway about 6 a.m.  It's not often we hear little voices here at our house.  It was Ella of course and she had just woke up after having slept in our spare bedroom.  Her Mom, Rebecca was still asleep out in our Motorhome.  

BREAKFAST AT OUR HOUSE THIS MORNING
PHEEBS IS HOPING TO SHARE ELLA'S BREAKFAST
OH-OH ELLA'S GOBBLING EVERYTHING UP
NOPE, SHE SAVED SOME FOR HER BEST PAL PHEEBS
For a fellow who looks forward to sunny days I was relieved to see we had a heavy cloud cover hanging over us this morning.  No sun at this time of year means less heat and humidity so with that thought in mind we headed off to Goderich's dog walking area alongside the lake and took ourselves for a stroll along the bluff top.  Cloudy days also mean diffused lighting without stark contrasts between bright sunlit areas and dark shadows.  And that makes for easier photos.

DOGGIE WALKING PATH

THIS SEEMS TO BE AN UNUSUAL GROWTH OF SOMETHING AT THE WATER'S EDGE
I THINK THAT LARGE GREY SWATH IN THE LAKE IS CLAY BEING ERODED FROM THE TALL CLAY BLUFFS ALONG THE SHORELINE (BELOW)
LOOK HOW HIGH WAVES HAVE BEEN SPLASHING UP THOSE CLAY CLIFFS

SHORELINE EROSION HAS CUT INTO THE BANK TO WITHIN FOUR FEET OF THE WALKING PATH
COULD THESE BE THE ANCIENT RUINS OF ATLANTIS
THOSE CEMENT STEPS WERE ONCE AT THE BASE OF THE EMBANKMENT
We were lucky to have the dog walking area all to ourselves so we took advantage of that and took our time meandering along.  Only had to dodge a couple ladies out for a walk.


We were home at our usual time around 10 o'clock.  Ella was sure glad to see Pheebs and those two zany characters were right back at it tearing around the house.  About an hour after that Kelly, Rebecca, and Ella, all piled into Kelly's Sunfire and they were off to Goderich for a little browsing around.  And I'm sure they will find themselves some tasty eats along the way as well.

I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHAT THEY ARE TAKING OUT AND DUMPING INTO THE LAKE 
ANOTHER PHOTOG OUT AND ABOUT
ALONE WITH HER THOUGHTS
The first raindrops began around 1:30 and within half an hour we had a steady water dump going on.  It finally let up around 5.  And we needed that good soaking rain too.

SPOTTED THIS NICE LITTLE COMPACT CLASS C IN GODERICH'S SOUTH HARBOR PARKING AREA
Sometimes I feel like we are living in Reclinerville.  Although we are only two people living in our house we have eight recliners, ten if you include our outside gravity chairs.  Two recliners in our sunroom, two in our Motorhome, and four in our living room with two of them being in a loveseat.  Now that is a lot of reclining going on every day.  I even sleep in one of those recliners each night and two of them if we are traveling in the RV.  Can't think of any piece of furniture more comfortable than a recliner.  Glad I wasn't around years ago when the most comfortable sitting device was a wooden rocking chair!!

GROANER'S CORNER:((    A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.  While on the operating table, she had a near death experience.  Seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up?"  God said, "No, you have another 43 years, two months and eight days to live."  Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction and tummy tuck. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well look even nicer.  After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.  While crossing the street on her way home, a speeding truck ran over and killed her.  Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that speeding truck?"  God replied, "Sorry, I didn't recognize you.

One man said to another, "I got my wife a lady's wristwatch." "Did she like it?" the second man asked.  "Yes, but then the lady showed up and took it back."

Q: How do you make an arrogant man's eyes light up?  A: Put a flashlight in his ear.

  2. OMG Ella is so grown up!! Still a character with those facial expressions communicating her delight with life :-) With our big sofa having three recliners, a single recliner, and then the adjustable split king bed we also have a world of reclining here too!!

  3. It seems we live in an ever changing world if not by mankind then by Nature. Isn't that why we love the Southwest so much.
    Our Love-Seat is a split recliner as well.
    Ella's face is so expressive. She is the spitting image of my niece at that age. She now has children of her own.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
