IT MIGHT JUST BE IN MY FUTURE AGAIN AT SOME POINT

Last night's winter storm dumped over a foot of snow on us so needless to say, I was on the end of my snow shovel again this morning clearing paths.  A big 'thank you' to Frank for blowing out the driveway yet again as well.  With this morning's wind blowing the loose snowfall around it was advised that people stay off the roads so Subie stayed in the carport and we never went anywhere.  I sure feel sorry for the local wildlife in these conditions and next week the temperatures are predicted to drop even further down.  Checking the 14-day forecast there is still no silver lining at the end of this long dark winter's tunnel.  'Grim' is the only word to describe it.  Rumor has it that even Wiarton Willy, our local groundhog Prognosticator hastily got out of town this morning while the gettin' was good and boarded an Air Canada flight in Toronto and flew to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  I've been to Puerto Vallarta twice and it just might be in my future again at some point!!  Winters are for the birds...Penguins that is.  And polar bears too!!  Igloos, icebergs, and Eskimos if you will!!  By early afternoon the snowfall had quit and the rest of the day remained calm.  By late afternoon we were under partially sunny skies.........

Al's Music Box:)) Beyond The Sea is the English-language version of the French song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet, popularized by Bobby Darin 1959. While the French original was an ode to the sea, Jack Lawrence – who composed the English lyrics – turned it into a love song.   "Beyond the Sea" has been recorded by many artists, but Bobby Darins's version released in late 1959 is the best known, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 15 on the US R&B Chart, No. 7 in Canada (co-charted with "That's The Way Love Is"), and No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart^[ in early 1960.  Before Bobby Darin's version, two instrumental recordings reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. Benny Goodman's version charted in 1948, and was featured in the Cary Grant/Betsy Drake romantic comedy Every Girl Should Be Married. Roger Williams's recording reached No. 37 in 1955.  The first recording of "Beyond the Sea" was by Harry James and His Orchestra on December 22, 1947, and the first recording of "La Mer" was by French musician Roland Gerbeau in December 1945 (the song’s author, Charles Trenet, did not record it until the following year).

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother’s house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.  “Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer,” said his mother.  “I don’t need to,” the boy replied.  “Of course, you do,” his mother insisted. “We always say a prayer before eating at our house.”  “That’s at our house,” Johnny explained. “But this is Grandma’s house and she actually knows how to cook!”

- A slow thinking boy got a deck of playing cards as a gift but he couldn't find anyone to play solitaire with.

- My doctor has advised me to stop drinking.
It's going to be a massive change for me.
I've been with that doctor for 15 years.

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt.  Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?'  'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?'
He yelled back, 'DALLAS COWBOYS'!
And they say blondes are dumb.

A tramp knocked on the door of the inn known as St. George and the Dragon. The landlady answered the door.  The tramp said, “Could you give a poor man something to eat?”  "No,” said the woman, slamming the door in his face.  He knocked again and said, “Could I have a few words with George?”
