FOR ME, ANYTIME SNOW IS MELTING IS A GOOD DAY:))

A slightly foggy morning but Pheebs and I made our way around a few country roads anyway.  Some were snow-covered and some were muddy.  My friend brought a Dyson vacuum cleaner today and I was absolutely amazed at how much doggy fur that Dyson got out of our living and sunroom carpets.  Way more than our Hoover ever did and if I hadn't have seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.  I am now definitely a Dyson fan.  Other than an afternoon of deep cleaning, (yup, even behind the TV) there wasn't too much going on.  It was a dull gray day after all, but at least we bested the freezing mark with 34F.  Maybe not a fast snowmelt, but at least our heaping piles of snow were slowing melting, and for me, anytime snow is melting.......is a good day:))

Al's Music Box:)) Abilene is a song written by Bob Gibson, Lester Brown and John D. Loudermilk, and recorded by American country music artist George Hamilton IV. The song reached number one on the U.S. country music chart for four weeks, and peaked at number 15 on the pop music charts. George Hamilton IV performed "Abilene" in the 1963 movie Hootenanny Hoot.  Bob Gibson was inspired to write the song after watching the Randolph Scott film Abilene Town. The setting for the film is Abilene, Kansas, the railhead town at the end of the Chisholm Trail. Gibson said the song had often been erroneously thought to be about Abilene, Texas named for the Kansas cowtown that had been established 24 years earlier but a much larger city.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A minister has just died and is standing on line waiting to be judges and admitted to Heaven. While waiting he asks the man in front of him about himself. "I'm a taxi driver from Noo Youk Cidy"  Suddenly the angel standing at the gate calls out next, and the taxi driver steps up. The angel hands him a golden staff and a cornucopia of fruits, cheeses, and wine and lets him pass. The taxi driver is quite pleased and proceeds through the gates.  Next, the minister steps up to the angel and the angel hands him a wooden staff and some bread and water. The minister is very concerned and asks the angel, "That guy is a taxi driver and gets a golden staff and a cornucopia! I spend my entire life as a minister and get nothing! How can that be?"  The angel replies, "Up here we judge on results, all of your people sleep through your sermons, in his taxi, they pray."

- I told my boss that three companies were after me, so I needed a raise in pay to stay with my current job.  He asked which companies?
I told him gas, electric, and cable.

A young banker decided to get his first tailor-made suit. So he went to the finest tailor in town and got measured for a suit. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked fabulous, he felt that in this suit he could do business.  As he was preening himself in front of the mirror he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you tell me you were a banker?"  The young man answered, "Yes, I did."  To this, the tailor said, "Whoever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?"
