I AM SO DISCOURAGED

CALM LAKE HURON WATERS AT BAYFIELD’S BEACH THIS MORNING

Not sure where I was but from somewhere out of the fog came Kelly’s words, “the sun’s on your face”.  It was nearly 9 a.m. and I was still in my recliner after having looked out the window a couple hours earlier at another cold gray day.  It was just too depressing and I had slunk back into my chair, closed my eyes and slipped off into a swirl of mist somewhere.  It was those word’s, ‘the sun’s on your face’ that opened up my eyes and sure enough I was looking through our east facing window right at a patch of sunlight peering down through our pine trees.  Twenty minutes later Pheebs and I were rolling out the driveway heading into Bayfield in search of a coffee.  We already had a muffin.  Kelly’s cold is on the mend.

I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE RIVER’S ICE HAD DISAPPEARED AND ONLY ONE OF FOUR FISHING BOATS TIED UP…..GUESS THE OTHER’S WERE OUT ON THE LAKE

NOT SURE WHAT THESE WATER BIRDS WERE ON THE RIVER NEAR THE FISHING BOAT

It wasn’t a long Jeep ride again as we plodded along some snowy roads southeast of Bayfield.  Temperatures had come a few degrees but we were still below freezing.  With the heater on Pheebs was again able to have her window down.   My mood on our drive was somber and there was nothing I could do to get myself out of it.  Did manage to gather up a photos though.

We had planned to put a push on today and get the Motorhome loaded up.  It never happened.  We are totally disorganized and going around in circles trying to decide what to do.  We’ve heard weather predictions of storms coming up along our planned travel route yet when I check the weather maps up to the end of the month I’m seeing mostly sun and cloud with no apparent storms predicted.  Needless to say I am very disheartened with all the indecision we’ve been agonizing through for so long now.  Sometimes I think the easiest thing to do would be to just stay home and forget about going anywhere anymore, sell the RV and forget about any more RV travels.  I am so discouraged………………..

GROANER’S CORNER:((  Jose and Carlos are panhandlers that panhandle in different areas of town.  Carlos panhandles just as long as Jose but only collects $2-3 every day.  Jose brings home a suitcase FULL of $10 bills every day, drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend.  One day, Carlos asked Jose: “I work just as long and hard as you do, but how do you bring home a suitcase full of $10 bills every day?”  “Look at your sign, what does it say?” replies Jose.  Carlos’ sign reads: “I have no work, a wife and six kids to support.”  Jose says: “no wonder you only get $2-3.”  ‘Carlos says: “So what does your sign say then?”  Jose shows Carlos his sign – it reads: “I only need another $10 to move back to Mexico”

A lady noticed her husband standing on the bathroom scale, sucking in his stomach.
Thinking he was trying to weigh less with this maneuver, she commented, "I don't think that's going to help."   "Sure it does," he said. "It's the only way I can see the numbers."
