BETTER THAN NOTHING I GUESS

Thought to myself if this rain keeps up I'm going to wear out my windshield wipers.  Had 5 items on my short grocery list so Pheebs and I sloshed our way to Goderich.  After a swing down around the harbor and beach areas, we headed for Zehr's Supermarket.  Grabbed myself a small cart and whizzed around quickly finding my 5 items.  I don't like having to spend any more time in a store than I have to.  Headed for the check-out and 'Oh-Oh,' I should have checked that out first when I entered the store.  Twelve people in line ahead of me with some having carts stacked to the rafters with groceries.  That was instantly enough for my impatient self so I burned a U-turn and retraced my steps back through the store returning all 5 items to the shelves where minutes before I had got them.  Returned my cart to the front entrance and hastily exited the building and drove home.  I'll try again another day and probably go to Food Basics next time.

A LARGE SHIP AT THE GODERICH GRAIN ELEVATORS THIS MORNING
THIS SHIP IS CALLED THE FEDERAL WELLAND
RIDING HIGH OUT OF THE WATER IT IS PROBABLY HERE TO PICK UP A LOAD OF GRAIN
Didn't take a whole bunch of photos today but had enough pics left over from the last few days to carry me through.  Mary, in the ShoutBox, asked if I had changed cameras and my answer to that is yes.  Friday's photos were taken with my Nikon CoolPix P900 and Saturday's photos were taken with my Nikon D3400.

YEP, THAT'S THE JEEP PEEKING OUT UP THERE 
LAST YEAR'S CORN STALKS IN THIS YEAR'S BEAN FIELD
ROWS AND ROWS OF RIPENED BEANS
Despite a cold drizzling rain Pheebs and I did make it out for about half a walk.  Better than nothing I guess.  Chasing two squirrels off the trail she happily enjoyed our soggy walk more than I did.

LADIES IN OUR PARK HAVE DONE A SPLENDID JOB ON OUR PARK'S ENTRANCE AND THAT'S OUR MAILROOM OVER THERE
KITTY CORNER FROM THE PARK'S MAILROOM LIVE THE MILLERS AND THEY ALWAYS KEEP THINGS NICE THERE
GROANER'S CORNER:((   An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air, then opened its mouth to swallow both.  As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"  At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place. As the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, "I thought you didn't believe in Me!"  "Come on God, give me a break!!" the man pleaded. "Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!

Mary: My daughter believes in preventative medicine, doctor.
Doctor: Oh, really?  
Mary: Yes, she tries to prevent me from making her take it!

  2. To avoid the big crowds try doing your grocery shopping between Monday and Thursday during the day when most people are at work.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  3. Grocery stores, most of then anyway, have senior hours... usually 7-8 am where only seniors can enter the store and shop... not sure if that helps you out :)
