IT WAS 10 YEARS AGO TODAY THAT WE MET THE PHEEBS

 A VERY HAPPY PHEEBS OUT FOR A SUNDAY EVENING WALK IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Knowing Pheebs as well as I do I could tell she was feeling a little mopy Sunday afternoon and evening.  I could tell she was missing Kelly.  Okay Okay, I was too.  So minutes after publishing my Sunday post I asked Pheebs if she's like to go for a Jeep ride.  Well, that was a silly question of course.  The words 'Jeep ride' instantly always turns her from a nearly ten-year-old doggy into a happy little jumping up and down puppy dog.  So off we went out into the beautiful countryside.  

 WE SAW SOME COWS ALONG THE WAY

I mostly see the countryside in the mornings so how nice it was to be out in evening's golden glow with all of August's soft colors and hues.  We stopped at our walking spot and while walking along our gravel road it was Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze playing in my mind as the summer's warm evening breeze wafted up from the south ruffling Pheebs fur.

 THERE IS STILL A SMOKY HAZE HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE

On our drive out to our walking spot and on the way home again we saw Tulip Lanes Highland Cattle grazing in a field by the road as well as a whole flock of wooly sheep just up the road a bit.  And by golly, we even saw some Five Seasons Estate people out for an evening stroll as well:))

 AND WE SAW SOME SUNDAY NIGHT SHEEP TOO

 SUDDENLY THIS LLAMA SHOWED AND TOLD ME TO STOP SCARING THE SHEEP

 NICE TO SEE A SMALL GROUP OF FIVE SEASONS ESTATES FOLKS OUT FOR AN EVENING STROLL

It was already 73F at 6 a.m. this morning and with heat advisories out I knew it was going to be a hot one today.  And it was.  Needing a few groceries, Pheebs and I headed for Goderich's Food Basics early.  Coffee to go at McDonalds, a quick swing down around the harbor, and we made fast tracks for home to bask in the cool confines of our air-conditioned house.  No afternoon walks in this heat and humidity.

 LAST SUMMER WITH HIGH LAKE LEVELS THIS WHOLE PIER WAS A COUPLE INCHES UNDER WATER

 CRUISING THE LAKESHORE IN HIS COOL CONVERTABLE

 ALWAYS NICE TO SEE FELLOW RV FOLKS ENJOYING THEMSELVES AT THE LAKE

 WHY DID THE CORMORANT CROSS THE ROAD.....I HAVE NO IDEA

 ENJOYING THE MORNING

 EVEN A GROUP OF BEACH WALKERS KICKING AROUND SOME SAND THIS MORNING

It was 10 years ago today we met Pheebs for the first time and it was love at first sight.  Her name was Evelyn back then and they called her Eve or Evy.  We soon changed it to Pheebe which of course has morphed into....the Pheebs:))  Here is that very exciting day one decade ago....Hi Everybody.....My Name Is Eve 

 WE'VE ONLY MET JUST 20 MINUTES AGO BUT WE ARE ALREADY BONDED BEST PALS FOREVER

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A woman went to the doctor's office, where she was seen by one of the new doctors, but after about 4 minutes in the examination room, she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.  An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was, and she told him her story. After listening, he had her sit down and told her to go relax in another room.  The older doctor marched down the hallway to the back where the first doctor was and demanded, "What's the matter with you? Mrs. Terry is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?"  The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, "Does she still have the hiccups?"

"Doctor! There's fly in the ointment!"  "Yes, I know, he's recovering from a nasty soup burn."
