THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I've been busy with doctor appointments this week.

I guess they're checking to see if I'm still alive.

Some days I feel less than that.

But I persevere and so do my elves.

So I continue on with this blog of mild and sometimes ribald comedy, just to entertain you.

And speaking of the latter . . .

And that's all I've got, or for you language people, that's all I have.

Now whatever language you confer in, please have a remarkable weekend.

And never forget to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . hmm, that is indeed a poser . . . )

SPRING INTO MARCH

This early Spring we've been having (temps in the 70's) has been having an effect on Mother Nature.

The flowering trees are indeed flowering.

And with the warm temperatures comes an increased turnout of happy youngsters in the city parks.

Ah, Springtime.

Don't you just love it?

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Truth be told, my message this week isn't so funny.

I'm not sure how much longer I can continue these Friday Funnies.

To be brutally honest, I suffered a small stroke during my sleep a couple of weeks ago and it affected the use of my right (and dominant) hand somewhat.

It takes me longer to type these introductions of my deathless prose and witty raconteury (I made that word up but I think you get the idea.)

So to be clear the contination will depend on my patience. 

But, to heck with that, let's see what popped out of the vault this week.

That's all I've got.

No, really, the vault is almost empty!

Elves? 

Are you listening?

At any rate, if this is the end, please have an enduringly wonderful weekend.

And never, ever forget to keep laughing!

( . . . ah, once again with a friend . . . )

IT'S BACK

Two days ago we woke up to snow on the ground.

That is NOT why we moved to Arizona!

Well yes, there are some misguided souls who actually revel in playing in the white iciness of the Snow Bowl north of Flagstaff.

But not me.

I came for the warmth of winter sunshine.

And today --- just two days after that rude snowfall --- I  got it.

Sunshine and 70 degrees F. (21 C.)

My bones already feel better.

WINTER, FINALLY

Ol' Man Winter at last made an appearance here this past week, even if it was only a quick drop by.

Here was the view of my front yard early yesterday morning.

Not much, eh?

Just the way I like it.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Today is a very special day.

I'll let you guess for awhile just what it is.

Okay, that's enough ruminating. 

I'll bring in a couple of my pals making a surprise appearance to tell you what it is.

And that's it, my friends.

Now as you're contemplating what a special day this was, try to have a truly exceptional weekend.

And never forget to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . oh now k-k wants to get in on the punning . . . )

TO BE CONTINUED

To those of you wondering if I'm still experimenting in the kitchen -- yes, I am.

May I present my latest -- Chocolate Chocolate Banana Bread.

And yes, there are two chocolate flavors in there.
