| RAINDROPS ON A SUNNY FRIDAY MORNING |
It was 4a.m. when the sound of heavy rain on our metal roof roused me out of a deep sleep. Before falling back to sleep again the only thought I had was that Pheebs and I wouldn't be taking Scooter for a ride with this morning. With roads being wet and grimy I didn't want to have to get into a big clean-up job on our RV when we got back.

| NICE SKIES FOR OUR THURSDAY NIGHT WALK |
Luckily, by the time I got up 3 hours later, overhead skies had cleared and we were off to another nice sunny start to the day. I was again mesmerized by the beautiful cloud patterns on our morning walk.
 |
| NICE SKIES FOR OUR FRIDAY MORNING WALK |
 |
| I SEE A BABY ELEPHANT TRUMPETING ITS HAPPINESS TO THE SKY |
 |
| A POODLE LYING ON ITS BACK FLOATING ACROSS THE SKY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT |
 |
| A LION CUB BOUNDING ACROSS THE THE MORNING SKY |
 |
| SKIES ARE LOOKING A LITTLE GRUMPY TO THE SOUTH |
 |
| I THINK ONE OF THOSE CLOUDS LATER CAUGHT UP TO US IN GODERICH |
Grabbed a McDonald's coffee in Goderich and headed down to the harbor. Driving slowly along Cove Road in the morning sunshine enjoying the lakeside scenery it suddenly began to rain. What!! Some walkers on the boardwalk quickly scrambled under trees while others with no shelter simply plodded along accepting the seven or eight minute shower as their temporary piece of bad luck for the day. I searched the sky for a rainbow but never found one. With windows rolled up against the rain, we cruised right by the dog walking area making a wide turn and heading back up out of the harbor. A stop at Walmart, Pet Value, and A&W wrapped up our reason for being in Goderich this morning and it was off for home with us.
 |
| THIS UNEXPECTED CLOUDBURST LASTED 7 OR 8 MINUTES |
 |
| SOME WALKERS MANAGED TO FIND SHELTER UNDER NEARBY TREES |
 |
| AND SOME FOLKS JUST KEPT RIGHT ON WALKING |
 |
| GODERICH IS REPLACING AN OLD PLAYGROUND AT THE BEACH WITH A COMPLETELY NEW ONE |
 |
| HERE'S A QUESTION FOR LONG-TIME READERS.....WHO IS THIS GIRL?? |
 |
| WELL, IT'S LITTLE ELLA OF COURSE AND DON'T FEEL BAD IF YOU DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HER, I DIDN'T EITHER (ELLA IS KELLY'S GRANDAUGHTER) |
 |
| I GUESS I HAD BETTER NOT BE CALLING HER 'LITTLE' ANYMORE |
GROANER'S CORNER:(( 1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and "rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog
---------------------------My ex-girlfriend just told me she wants us to get back together again. MAN, I sure am LUCKY! I mean, first I win the lottery, and now THIS!!!
==================
WOW! How did THAT happen? Such a short time ago, you were telling us that Kelly had a new granddaughter. Then the baby pictures. Then she grew into the little girl in the picture who visited. And now, she's a beautiful young lady! In third grade already, Next week(the way time flies for me), she'll be a teenager. Something happy for Kelly is a good thing! Love the clouds. Wish we would see more of those in Texas!
ReplyDeleteRecognized Ella's smile right off. My she is sure growing up and is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI too recognized Ella--but can't understand how she got to be in the 3rd grade!
ReplyDeleteI recognized her Al.
ReplyDeleteI knew right away that it was Ella, she has the most expressive eyes and lovely smile. Love that poster/school project. I would love to see it every September and see how she changes over the years.
ReplyDeleteElla is growing up! My neice here is Meaford is Ella too.
ReplyDeleteElla looks like Kelly. Lucky girl--very pretty! I look like my grandmother and I love that.
ReplyDeleteYou should see what the RV industry sales thinks about the quality of new RVs comingout of Indiana factories these days. It’s a sad commentary on our times to hear about the second rate products being sent to sales rooms now. Seems the manufacturers cannot depend on a stable - or even ANY - workforce not to mention a skillful one. Saw the comments on the “Rvtravel.com” site. (No caps)
ReplyDeleteLove all the dramatic skies. Your cloud shapes remind me of many days in the desert with friends laughing at what we made of the shapes above us.
ReplyDeleteElla is growing up so fast, as they all seem to do these days, and is just as beautiful as always.
