An Optimist

Slowly but surely, we're muddling through We'll make it to spring, I'm promising you Won't be too long We'll hear robin's song And once again enjoy the laughter that ensues © Jack Ellison 2016

Ummm. LimmerJack... An optimist is someone who wants to take off flying with Dragon and thinks they'll land safely... A realist bails out over the lake in summer and a big fluffy snow drift in winter before Dragon comes in for a landing... LOL... I should know... Been there... Done that! Ouch... Who says you can't fix stupid? Just let them fly a few times with Dragon...

Jack, You love me to bits! Listen to this story then. A guy comes over, sits on our boat, after his drunk binge, the night before. He reaches in the bowl and is chomping down on snacks. "Boy, Judy these are good!" Finally I say, "Hey Frank those are the dogs kibble and bits!" LOL

Our Canadian winters are usually much more frigid and snowier than this year but it's still early... I'm sure we will get hit right between the eyes before we welcome spring!!! Love, Jack xoxox
