We had good news this week: the transition has begun for the Biden Presidency. The idiocy of the tRump Presidency will no longer dominate our news. Already seeing the strength of Biden-Harris and their team.
If you didn't have a chance listen to Biden's Thanksgiving Speech. HERE
His is the leadership we have sorely missed these last long four years.
Definitely something to be thankful for this year.
We were due at daughter's for a pizza dinner on Saturday evening. We said we'd arrive sometime between 4:30 and 5:00. Just enough time then to take a walk/hike on a trail we pass every time we head south from Lebanon. Sunset is 4:15 here!
There were no other cars in the lot though in summer time there's typically no room in the small parking lot. The map showed the path but there was a text balloon that said bridge out over the creek. We ventured on anyway. And yes no bridge but lots of rocks.
We had to look for just the right spot to cross and Dan found it.
Picture above is looking back after crossing. I had to sit down on that log and place my feet on the small rock below. Then made a very big step to next rock where Dan stood holding his hand out for me. I had my hiking stick to help with balancing. From there it was a step to rock on bottom right and then I was across.
I realized after crossing that the return trip was not manageable for me so we headed up stream to find a spot to cross back when we needed to. Luckily it was shallower. And though there were a few rocks, I just stepped right in to the water to cross.
At daughter's house she had a new pair of socks to give me - an early Christmas gift. My shoes and socks went to the hearth to dry.
Pizza was delicious as always.
The 2.99 Special
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was
two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.
'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'
'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,'
the waitress warned her.
'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?'
my wife asked incredulously.
'YES!' stated the waitress..
'I'll take the special then,' my wife said..
'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.
'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!
WE'VE been around the block more than once!
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway and noticed a sign that read: Low Bridge Ahead. Before he knows it, the bridge is right in front of him and his truck gets wedged under it. Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, 'Got stuck, huh?'
The truck driver says, 'No, I was delivering this bridge and I ran out of gas.'
The police officer got out of his car as the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. 'I've been waiting for you all day,' the officer said.
The kid replied, 'Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.'
When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
It was mealtime during an airline flight.
'Would you like dinner?' , the flight attendant asked John, seated in front.
'What are my choices?' John asked.
'Yes or no,' she replied .
Thanks to my friend, Marilyn for sharing these with me.
