A chuckle for your day/night:
Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember…
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure..'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.. She stares at the plate for a moment.
'Where's my toast ?'
I hope that my love and I make it to 90 to do exactly the same . . . .

Thanks guys!
Nice little chuckle there, Leigh. Sounds about right.
Day two of cleaning up after the blizzard. Rough week so far, but sometimes keeping busy and working hard is what you need.
Rest is best now...ttl...

Good morning Octsobers!
I can relate to the phrase about going back to work 'to rest'. Good heavens we've been busy. I thought of you just now Leigh because we're leaving the kids to sleep and gonna take my mom and stepdad to the mission. I'm looking forward to today's slower paced day and a break from navigating the unbelievably heavy traffic. A local said that the swallows have started their return.
My condolences for all those dealing with the winter weather up east.
Wishing each of you the best day.
