HULLETT MARSH THIS MORNING
Another cold gray depressing morning. Pheebs and I headed over to the Hullett Marsh for a walk. Hunters were out killing things so we immediately left and came home. Kelly was busy with the Motorhome’s interior clean-up so I helped out with the driver and passenger area.
‘I THINK THERE’S A FROG OVER HERE DAD’
SHE’S QUITE THE INQUISITIIVE LITTLE EXPLORER
My afternoon rapidly slid further downhill and I didn’t end up accomplishing much until I managed to pull my socks up and interest myself in re-arranging our sunroom a bit after supper. I have a feeling I am going to be spending a lot of my time here now.
NOW THAT’S NO WAY TO HARVEST CORN!!
STILL NOT QUITE FINISHED WITH THE BEAN HARVEST
I am sure going to have to learn how to ‘pull a rabbit out of a hat’ if I am going to make it through the Winter. Been dreading this ‘staying home’ for the past dozen years and here it is, the time has finally arrived. With reality setting in it didn’t end up being a good day for me:((
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two notorious drunks are sitting at the bar. One is crying. The other asks what's wrong. "I've puked all over myself again and my wife is gonna kill me." The other drunk says "do what I do pal. Explain to your wife that some other drunk puked on you. Put a ten spot in your shirt pocket and tell her that the drunk was sorry and gave you ten dollars to have your clothes cleaned." "Sounds like a great idea" says drunk number 1. When he gets home, sure enough his wife is fuming and begins yelling at him about his clothes and how disgusting he is. The drunk starts spinning the lie and says " look for yourself, there's ten bucks in my shirt pocket." His wife looks in the pocket and finds twenty dollars. "Wait a minute, I thought you said the guy gave you ten for puking on you," says the wife. "He did," says the drunk. "But he crapped in my pants too."

You guys had a good run, now time for a new weekend warrior chapter.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should get a new hobby?? Great post and as usual, loved the jokes. Keep up the great blog postings.
ReplyDeleteThere does come a time when we have to change our lifestyles. All your travels to the southwest have really inspired us over the years, thanks for all those great tips.
ReplyDeleteNow staying home this winter you can explore another chapter in your lives.
good luck and enjoy.
The photographs of Pheebs seem to express the sadness that you wrote about, now that you aren't returning to the Southwest this winter. Very poignant. I'm sad too.
ReplyDeleteYou have led the way for many of us to travel to the Southwest. We also know there comes a time we'll have to redirect the way we travel. By your writing about your change others will understand what they will be faced with.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe.
It's about time.
After being home bound for almost all of the last 9 1/2 months I get it. Even most projects haven't kept my attention. Hard to see another winter sitting in place. What to do? I still love your photography and storytelling.
ReplyDeleteLove the clouds reflected into the water. If you didn't feel bad about not going the SW this winter I'd be very surprised. Still, it validates how lucky you are to have had those years of grand adventure, doing what you love. Making the decision yourselves is a big deal - something that those who had that decision made for them would love to have :-) I expect that once it becomes your new reality you'll find a way to enjoy sharing it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you can still come up with great groaners. We too are facing the end of our happy trails and it isn't a happy feeling at all. I want to keep traveling full tim until I just fade into history but it just isn't possible.
ReplyDeleteAl, my vertigo spells were always accompanied with tiredness and brain fog for several days. I was told a prescription antidepressant would be helpful. Ask your doctor for some help because it could be a long tough winter without some help. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHate to hear it, Al. We'll miss you guys this year. Stay warm!
ReplyDeletePat and Nancy. Oh, and Kumori. ;)
