PHEEBS AND I MADE A RAID ON JERRY RADERS THIS MORNING

 HOW NICE TO SEE SUNSHINE THIS MORNING

Running a bit low on supplies and with sunshine beaming down across the landscape, it was time for Pheebs and I to make a raid on Jerry Rader's Homestyle in Zurich.  I am so grateful for the two Jerry Rader gift cards I received last month.  Using the gift cards wisely, I have not purchased any of the many delicious desserts offered there.  But oh my, those homemade pies and tarts look soooooo good.  With my weight down to 172 pounds, I do not want to take a chance on having it balloon back up to over 200 pounds again.  So, no pies and tarts for me.

 PHEEBS LOVES THE MORNING'S SUN ON HER FACE

 SO NICE TO SEE SUN SPLASHES ACROSS THE ROAD

Pheebs and I left Jerry Raders this morning with 2 cream of chicken soups, 1 cream of turkey soup, 1 beef barley soup, 1 pkg of Metsger weiners, 1 beef stew, 1 turkey salad sandwich which Pheebs and I shared on the way home, 1 pkg of chicken tenders, and 2 beef pot pies. That will keep us going for a while.

 SHARING OUR TURKEY SALAD SANDWICH

After arriving home and with a sunny day still going on I hustled myself outside, grabbed my shovel, and cleaned out all my pathways including all the salty slush in the carport from the Subaru.  With temps at 33F it was a slightly milder day.  The big heavy snow load in early December crushed down a Wisteria Vine at the corner of the house blocking an area near an arbor where I usually have a snow path shoveled.  It took me a while with my clippers to get all that cleaned up.  It felt great to be outside doing something again.  I will be soooooo glad when this winter is over!!  I might even kick up my heels in merriment.

Al's Music Box:)) Oh Girl is a song written by Eugene Record and recorded by American soul vocal group the Chi-Lites, with Record on vocals and also producing. It was released as a single on Brunswick Records in 1972. Included on the group's 1972 album A Lonely Man, "Oh Girl" centers on a relationship on the verge of break-up.  "Oh Girl" was the Chi-Lites' first and only No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at that position in May 1972 for one week. The single also reached the top position of the Billboard R&B Singles chart the following month, remaining in that position for two weeks.  Billboard ranked it as the No. 13 song for 1972.  In addition, it reached No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1972, and was a UK hit again in 1975 when reissued as a double A-side with "Have You Seen Her", this time reaching a new peak of No. 5. The song prominently features a harmonica.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A woman announces to her friend that she is getting married for the fourth time. "How wonderful! But I hope you don't mind me asking what happened to your first husband?" "He ate poisonous mushrooms and died." "Oh, how tragic! What about your second husband?" "He ate poisonous mushrooms too and died." "Oh, how terrible! I'm almost afraid to ask you about your third husband." "He died of a broken neck." "A broken neck?" "Ya, he wouldn't eat his mushrooms."

The teacher noticed that Johnny had been daydreaming for a long time. She decided to get his attention."Johnny," she said, "If the world is 25,000 miles around and eggs are sixty cents a dozen, how old am I? "Thirty-four," Johnny answered unhesitatingly.  The teacher replied "Well, that's not far from my actual age. Tell me...how did you guess?"  Oh, there's nothing to it," Johnny said. "My big sister is seventeen and she's only half-crazy."

The workers in a large office were making secret plans to stage a big office party for the 70-year old cleaning woman who had spent the better part of her life with the company.  Somehow the secret leaked out and the woman got wind of it. Much perturbed, she rushed to the office manager. "Please sir," she cried, "Do not let them do it! Do not let them do it!"  "Oh, come now, Mrs. Smith, you must not be so modest. After all, they simply want to show how much you are appreciated." "Appreciated, my foot," exclaimed the woman. "I am NOT going to clean up after a mess like that!"
