TODAY BABY ELLA GAIL MET GRAMMA KELLY GAIL:))

  
FIRST TIME KELLY GETS TO MEET HER NEWEST GRANDDAUGHTER
Had us a cool drizzly fog shrouded morning as Kelly & I rolled out the driveway about 8:30 heading for Waterloo Ontario.  It was time for Gramma Kelly Gail to meet new baby Ella Gail.  Smatterings of rain led our way through the countryside as we traveled the back roads to one of the largest cities in our area.  Kitchener-Waterloo.  It was the same route we followed to the same area of the city 3 years ago when we bought our Jeep.  How well I remember that sunny morning towards the end of June bringing our Jeep home.  That was a happy day:))
 
ELLA GAIL’S PROUD MOM & DAD RICARDO & REBECCA

NOT YET A WEEK OLD
Ella Gail hasn’t been in Waterloo too long.  In fact she just arrived into this world last week & already she is nearly 21 inches long.  Ella Gail is Kelly’s (aka Gail) newest Granddaughter & she has a head of dark hair to make a barber smile.  She’s just a wee itty bitty pretty little thing & she arrived on the very day she was predicted to do so.  A flawless home birth so she hasn’t even been outside yet.  Had ourselves a nice 3 hour visit.  I was asked if I would like to hold the baby but holding a baby kind of scares the ba-jeebers out of me & I’m not sure if I have ever held a baby.  If I have I was probably two nervous to remember.  Now holding a little itty bitty puppy dog  is something I would be totally comfortable with.          

THIS IS THE CLOSEST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO A DIAPER CHANGE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE…..YIKES
It was nice to get out & travel a few different roads today.  Figured it was about a 140 mile round trip.  Weather was much nicer coming home but as so often happens at this time of year along Ontario’s west coast we ran into a fog bank about 3 miles from home.  Cold lake air mixes with the sun warmed darker earth & forms a mist for a few miles inland.  We are always a few degrees cooler here by Lake Huron.

SABRA, ONE OF KELLY’S OTHER THREE DAUGHTERS DROPS IN FOR A VISIT…AND SHE BROUGHT DONUTS & HOME MADE COOKIES:))
 

Kelly didn’t have a lot of luck trimming Pheebs nails a few days ago so the Lil Darlin is off to the Spa bright & early Wednesday morning for a nail trim, bath, & general spiffing up.  Pheebs, like a cat does not like water so we haven’t told her where she’s going in the morning.  That would not be nice.
 

Thanks to readers & friends for all the suggestions about my problem hip.  Definitely things to be considered & thought about.  I do recall my Nurse Practitioner touching on a few of the same things mentioned.  I did have a lot of trouble with my lower back years ago in my working days.  It has been good now for about 5 years but it’s possible there is a connection with my hip area somewhere.  My X-rays are still in the review stage at St. Joseph’s hospital in London & I expect when I hear from them it will probably be the same conclusion the Stratford fellow came to.  I will probably have to make another appointment with my NP & see where we go from here.  At the moment I am pain free for the 4th straight day in a row.  Bad days sure make one appreciate the good days.

 
THIS LITTLE LADY ALREADY HAS MORE HAIR THAN HER DAD DOES
Our new Finch bird feeder was on the ground again this afternoon so I had myself a big bluster going about those #%**!!!:+ Squirrels again.  If I had a gun I was a goin to shoot em, if I had a Harpoon I was a gonna poon em, if I had a bow & arrow I was a gonna pick them off at 40 yards!!!!  I was a gonna smash em, I was gonna mash em, & I was a gonna stomp em into the ground.  Was even gonna get myself a 105mm Howitzer cannon & blow em all to Kingdomcome.  Only thing I didn’t have was a leg long enough to kick myself in the ass when I realized one of my fishing line knots holding the bird feeder up had come undone…………..Case closed!!

ONE PROUD POPPA
GROANER’S CORNER:((  One day a blonde was driving on the highway and got pulled over by a cop. The cop said "Why do you keep swerving?" The blonde replied "I turn one way and there's a tree, I turn again there's a tree, and then there's a whole bunch more trees popping out of nowhere." The cop replied "You Dummy that's your air freshener."
- A brunette was sick and tired of people making fun of her for being a brunette, so she decided to hang herself.  A couple minutes later two men walk by and see her hanging by her wrists.  "What are you doing." they ask her.  So she replies "Hanging myself."  The men are confused and said "If you are hanging yourself, you put the rope around your neck."  The blond says "Duh....I tried that, I couldn't breath."
- A young woman said to her doctor, "You have to help me, I hurt all over."  "What do you mean?" said the doctor.  The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Ow, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe. "Ow, even THAT hurts."  The doctor asked the woman, "Are you a natural red head?"  "Why yes," she said.  "I thought so," said the doctor... "You have a sprained finger."
- A blonde a brunette and a red haired women are all stranded on a desert island.  They find a lamp and rub it. A genie pops out and offers them all one wish.   The brunette says "I miss my family so I want to go home", then she is zapped home.  The red haired women says "I miss my family so I want to go home too" so she is zapped home.  Finally the blonde says "I am so lonely……………….I wish my friends back"
