The "Missing Rake"

The mystery of the "missing rake" was finally solved today - can you imagine - it managed to find it's way to a garage located on Brown St. almost 12 miles away from where it was last seen! I'm thinking that maybe Harry Potter is real & probably mistook it for a broomstick! Anyway last week I was forced into organizing my garden tools as the Popster was working on his "garage project" when I discovered my new rake that I had only had a chance to use once was missing. Thinking I could have left it leaning against one of the many trees on our property I spent the good part of 45 mins searching. Of course when I asked a certain person if he had seen it he denied all knowledge of the said piece of property. Now anyone who knows me knows I was just a little peeved & had a "hissy" fit about the nerve of someone "stealing" a rake so of course that certain person (aka "crusty") will never admit his part in the theft! Now I have it back I can rake to my hearts content! Ugh!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yea for Don the repair guy!

My new BFF is Don the repair guy who came today to fix the dishwasher. Amazingly, after he took the door apart it would close - I really did not believe the handle was broken but was defective! It had never felt right........always kinda loose. Anyway he decided that as long as we had a new handle he would install it & even gave me the old one as a back-up. Works much better now. Funny story - while he was here he got a phone call from the office telling him one of his earlier repairs of the day had called saying their dishwasher would not start at all. He called the lady back & suggested different things for her to try but nothing worked. He said he would stop back after his next call to see what it could be. As he hung up I said "Sounds to me like she has the "child lock control" on!". Sure enough after another phone call that turned out to be the problem! Maybe I need a change of careers!!!!!

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
