THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

 Here we are once again at the antepenultimate day of the week.

Or the penultimate if you, like the calendar, believe a new week begins with Sunday.

Whatever you call today, it's Friday.

And I'm sure you know what that means.

So there you are - sure fire weight loss.

I hope you have a fruitful weekend, full of frolic and fun.

And always remember to keep laughing!

TBT & FFP

 Many years ago we inherited a chair from my late aunt in San Francisco.

She apparently favored a few antiques in furnishing her home.

This one we called The Monk's Chair.

It's been with us for several decades now from home to home, country to country, state to state and city to city.

But always with the admonition my aunt gave us when we first laid eyes on it: that chair is never to be sat on.

When we've gone on the BRD will inherit it and hopefully she'll take as good care of it as we have.

The M thinks it goes quite well with one of her two Music Tables.

That takes care of TBT in the title of this post (ThrowBack Thursday).

And now for the FFP.

Yuk-Yuk-Yuk!

WEATHER REPORT

 The rain and snow has passed on but today is a mostly cloudy day in my part of Arizona.

A tad of blue sky peeking through here and there.

Promising sunnier skies and warmer temperatues for the weekend.

OH, YEAH?

 Lessee, what was I saying the other day about Spring finally being here?

Well, here's what's happening in my part of Arizona right now.

Yeah, that's right.

If Spring has sprung, it's got a funny way of showing it.

But I remember when we opened our bookstore back in mid-March of 1996.

A blizzard hit overnight and though I drove through snow to open the store on schedule, I think we only did about 30 bucks in business that first day.

As people say all over the world, the weather is unpredictable and if you don't like what you've got, just wait an hour and it will change.

A NEW BEGINNING

It's finally come.

Spring has now officially arrived.

I know, Colorado is expecting another snow storm.

And even here in the pleasant climes of the foothills in Arizona our temperatures most of the week will only be in the 50's.

But hope is in store and brighter days are ahead.

SWMBO and I have marked two weeks today since our second Covid vaccination.

So we should be good.

But we're still going to take care, wearing masks and staying away from crowds and washing our hands for the time being.

After all we have something to look forward to next month.

We are coming face to face with our 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Now that's a day to mark.

Not so much our birthdays in the next couple of months.

So I'll leave you today with an old Burma Shave jingle that I can never resist at this time of year.

Spring has sprung

The grass has riz

Where last year's

Careless drivers is

Happy springtime, everybody, whenever it comes!

LIFE IN THE SUN

 

Some Key West natives paid a visit, probably looking for a hand-out.

The ibis, worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, appear totally accustomed to human visitors in this tourist mecca.

The BRD seems bemused by them.

As I told you on Thursday, the Arizonans had traveled to the Keys to deliver a Gayle-created totem, a gift to Beau Jack's son Jeremy, his wife Marina and the newest member of their family, Apollo.

And here they are, in a pool under the very south Florida sunshine.

Who knows what that young lad will accomplish in his lifetime?

Perhaps the ibis knows.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

 Laugh and the world laughs at you.

Or is that "with" you?

Whatever.

Or is that "whichever"?

I'm so confused.

Better turn this over to the Keepers of the Humor Bank.

Or is that "Banque"?

Arrrrgggghhh!!!

There, I feel better.

I hope you do, too.

Now here's a wish that you'll have a fantastic weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!
