I TURNED DOWN A HOT FUDGE SUNDAE THIS AFTERNOON

 SOOOOOO NICE TO SEE BLUE SKIES TODAY

It was a big beautiful sunny blue sky day this morning as Richard and I cruised leisurely through the countryside on our first country road coffee tour of 2021.  I did the steering wheel honors today.

 HEADING OVER TO RICHARDS IT WAS NICE TO SEE CLEARING SKIES OUT OVER LAKE HURON

Home again I enjoyed the warm sunshine coming through our sunroom windows as I sunk into my cushy recliner and became unconsciously as one with the Universe for nearly an hour.  It was Pheebs who tugged me back into reality with her cold little nose on my hand. 'Time for our afternoon walk Dad' and with that it was out of the chair, out the door, and off we went.

 ONLY SIGNS OF ACTIVITY ON OUR FRONT YARD FROG POND WERE BUNNY TRACKS 

Despite winter's cold afternoon air it was so nice to be out walking in the sunshine.  Bush roads were plowed but icy.  No matter, it was just nice to be out getting some exercise for my legs.

 IT WAS SLIPPERY WALKING IN SOME PLACES THIS AFTERNOON

 A COUPLE PERIODIC PARK WORKERS BURNING SOME BRUSH

Would you believe I turned down a hot fudge sundae this afternoon?  Well, I did, and with no hesitation.  When Pheebs and I got back from our walk Kelly was melting some chocolate in preparation for sundaes.  Normally my answer would have been, 'yes please and double chocolate on mine'.   However, ever since I was diagnosed with stage 2 diabetes last summer I have pulled out all the stops in an attempt to get my weight down and develop new eating habits.  Not easy at first but things have become easier and I'm holding at 190 pounds, down from 204 when diagnosed, and an all-time high a couple years ago of 216 pounds.

 IT WILL SOON BE TIME TO TAKE DOWN OUR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

GROANER'S CORNER:((       A little boy was attending his first wedding. After the service, his cousin asked him, "How many women can a man marry?"  "Sixteen," the boy responded.  His cousin was amazed that he knew the answer so quickly. "How do you know that?"  "Easy," the little boy said.  "All you have to do is add it up, like the Preacher said: 4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer."

This guy was watching TV as his wife was out cutting the grass during the hot summer. He finally worked up the energy to go out and ask his wife what was for supper.  Well, his missus was quite irritated about him sitting in the air-conditioned house all day while she did all the work, so she scolded him. "I can't believe you're asking me about supper right now! Imagine I'm out of town, go inside and figure dinner out yourself."  So he went back in the house and fixed himself a big steak, with potatoes, garlic bread and tall glass of iced tea.  The wife finally walked in about the time he was finishing up and asked him, "You fixed something to eat? So where is mine?"  "Huh? I thought you were out of town."
