STILL MARVELING AT BEING HOME, KELLY HAD HERSELF A RESTFUL DAY

How nice earlier this morning while tipped back in my living room recliner with my computer on my lap, to glance to my right and see Kelly tipped back in her recliner with her computer on her lap as well.  A glance forward to my left and there's Pheebs upside down and stretched out having a big snooze on her very own couch.  All,  was well with The Bayfield Bunch:))

London's University Hospital had faxed over a revised list of Kelly's medications to Goderich's Walmart Pharmacy so Pheebs and I had us a mission to Goderich this morning.  Off we went under blue skies and big white and gray cumulous clouds billowing up from the eastern horizon.  The humidity factor was already climbing so I knew there would be no yardwork for Al when we got home later.  Coffee to go at McD's, a drive down around the harbor, a stop uptown to pick up my watch with a new battery at Anstett Jewelers, scooped two carrot muffins at Caits Cafe for Kelly, and then a last stop at Walmart before heading home with the summer's wind blowing through Subie's open windows and nearly lifting my hat off my head through the open Moonroof and flying it away off into the next County.  And, it was while writing this paragraph late this afternoon that I dozed off with my finger on the j key only to later wake up with about 6.7 million jjjjjjjj's going on forever across my computer screen.  I hate when I do that!!

OH GEE....D'YA THINK!!

BECAUSE THIS GUY IS DRESSED ALL IN WHITE I FIGURE HE MUST BE THE BIG KAHOONA DECK BOSS' 

Kelly, still marveling at being home had herself a restful day.  She did summon up enough energy to take Pheebs for a short walk before breakfast but that pretty much tuckered her out for the rest of the day.  A big snooze was in order so she did that for a big chunk of the afternoon.

THE MID-SUMMER CALM WATERS OF LAKE HURON

 NICE MORNING FOR A STROLL ALONG THE BOARDWALK NEAR ROTARY COVE

 ALSO A NICE MORNING FOR A WALK ALONG THE BEACH

NOT EVERYBODY IS ENJOYING A DAY OFF AT THE BEACH

 LOOKS LIKE THIS GROUP IS TRYING A FEW CHIN-UPS ON THE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT ALONG THE BOARDWALK

University Hospital has already scheduled Kelly for another endoscopy about this time next month and they have also scheduled another physio test for her around the same time.  Like Kelly said, she's got a lot of work to do between now and then to get her strength built back up.    When Pheebs and I arrived back from Goderich I was glad to see her wolfing down a big bowl of Jerry Rader's chicken soup along with a whole boatload of crackers and cheese.  She'll be bench pressing 300 pounds in no time.  Thanks again to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for helping and lifting her spirits through these difficult times.

Al's Music Box:)) Some Broken Hearts Never Mend is a song written by Wayland Holyfield, and recorded by American country music artist Don Williams. It was released in January 1977 as the first single from the album Visions. The song was Williams' sixth number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for a single week and spent a total of 12 weeks within the top 40.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The European Union commissioners have announced that an agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).  In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will reseive this news with joy.  Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.  There will be growing public enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 persent shorter.  In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the language is disgrasful, and they would go.  By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v".  During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud, of kors, be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.  Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German lik zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Little Henry sits at the dinner table. He reaches for his plate, picks up a chicken leg, and starts to eat. His mother says, "Henry did you wash your hands?"  Henry replies, "No! I don’t want my chicken to taste like soap, mom!"
