REMEMBER THAT RV WE WENT TO LOOK AT NORTH OF LONDON A FEW WEEKS AGO??

 GODERICH'S ROTARY COVE
Another really nice summer morning so with Subie's windows down, Pheebs and I moonroofed our way to Goderich and back.  Our usual stops while there at McD's for a coffee to go with a spin down around the harbor and beach areas.  Following that, it was a Walmart stop to pick up a prescription and a few groceries.  On the way home under growing cloudy skies we slipped around to Bayfield's south end and picked up a couple 20-pound bags of birdseed at the Porters Hill Wild Birdseed Company  Best birdseed place around:))

SPOTTED THIS COUPLE ENJOYING THEIR TIME AT THE BEACH
 ALSO SPOTTED THIS COUPLE ENJOYING LAKE HURON'S REFRESHINGLY COOL WATERS
Our wondrous cool spell of recent weeks has been replaced by summer's miserable heat and humidity again but luckily the afternoon cloud cover kept it from being worse than it could have been.

 LAKE HURON WAS SHOWING OFF HER BEAUTIFUL AQUA COLORS THIS MORNING
I buried my nose in my book for much of the afternoon knowing that if I went outside I would end up in an uncomfortable sticky situation.  Not much in the way of photos today but I did manage a few in Goderich while the sun was out.

Readers may remember a sunny Saturday morning a few weeks ago when Kelly, Pheebs, and I took a drive to look at an RV north of London, Ontario. (My Post for that Day)  No, not for us, but for RV blogging friends of ours who at the time were traveling in Europe.  You can read the results of that Saturday morning here at Kevin and Ruth's blog, Travel with Kevin and Ruth.  You can also find these fine travel folks on my sidebar:))

Al's Music Box:)) The Ballad Of Davy Crockett is a song with music by George Bruns and lyrics by Thomas W. Blackburn. It was introduced on ABC's television series Disneyland, in the premiere episode of October 27, 1954.  Fess Parker is shown performing the song on a log cabin set in frontiersman clothes, accompanied by similarly attired musicians. The familiar refrain of "Davy, Davy Crockett" is heard throughout the song, which sings of the man's praises. The song would later be heard throughout the Disneyland television miniseries Davy Crockett, first telecast on December 15, 1954. This version was sung by The Wellingtons. Parker played the role of Davy Crockett in the miniseries and continued in four other episodes made by Walt Disney Studios. Buddy Ebsen co-starred as George "Georgie" Russel, and Jeff York played legendary boatman Mike Fink.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer, who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket, went in to try out for the job  "Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"  "11" he replied.  The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"  "Today and tomorrow."The sheriff was again   surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.  "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"  Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."  "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"  So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great!  First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"
