SATURDAY

Don’t get too nervous, this photo was taken this morning, Saturday, April 26th in Warroad, Minnesota. They got hit big time – seems Ole Man Winter isn’t done with them by any stretch of the imagination! Patio furniture looks like “white” pads had been placed to make the seating comfy, eh?

The fact that folks had to get up and shovel out this morning was something they did not expect. My son’s comment cannot be published but believe me, it was not, “oh goodie, more snow to shovel!”

In the meantime, it’s something like 58 degrees here, sun is shining, wind is blowing and although not as warm as it has been, it’s still a lovely day. Now there is some hint of afternoon showers but who knows – weather personnel are the only ones who can predict and if they get it right, great and if not, so be it! You don’t like the predictions, find another channel, someone else will predict something different and you might like that better!

While we battle the gas prices and wonder just how much we’ll end up paying for a gallon of gas – I mean, it’s like $3.74 now, so thinking $4 isn’t that far off, right? We got other news items to keep us entertained. Now it seems that our youth-obsessed culture is not all that concerned about wrinkles or gray hair. Well, you know what their biggest worry is – ready for this – growing old and not being able to take care of themselves! And you are shutting down nursing home after nursing home today – smart move!

As economy slumps, so do diets and workouts. Stressed workers often reach for calorie-rich foods, skip the gym after a taxing day or forego meals because of heavy workloads. Or they indulge in other bad-for-you behavior like smoking, drinking or staying out late. So as the economy experiences what some refer to as a recession and folks worry about keeping their jobs, they forget about diets and workouts – they just pig out and feel better – wow, and how much did we spend to learn this little well-known fact?

PATCH AIMS TO MAKE YOU FEEL SEXY - What it claims to do: Turn you on. Scentuelle’s scented patch is designed to be worn daily on the wrist to “enhance feelings of sexuality through our sense of smell.” And the cost for this patch is $30 for a 60-day supply. Ya, I can see you rushing to the store – slow down, there’s plenty available, I think! Hey, you could save yourself some money by just not looking in the mirror – now that would make everyone feel sexy! Or you could buy this patch and hope you remember which patch does what --- way too many choices here!!

Well, that’s as much NEWS as I am willing to share or read about for now. I think it’s time to get outside, find a dirt road and look for wildflowers. Well, whatever, it is time to get outside, how’s that. Have a great day!
