This is where!


I am so excited as WE - as in Popster & I are going to England next month! It has been better than 30 years since Popster was there. It has taken a little effort to arrange this between finding flights that coordinate with his vacation & the biggest problem of all ..........Miss Molly!

Our first choice was to board her at our vet but they are no longer doing that. After doing lots of research & asking around we found a kennel that is not too far from here that sounded good & also came recommended from people we know. We drove over there Thurs & we were not only welcomed for a guided tour but he insisted that Molly go into the play yard while we were looking around. That way she could familiarize herself with the place & also let her know we will be coming back for her. I really liked the people there but neither one of us feel good about leaving her!! She spent well over a month in the animal shelter & I don't want her think she's being abandoned again.

Apart from that there is only good things to look forward to & help this "crappy" winter go by quicker. Of course when I talked to my brother I find out England is having the coldest winter in about 20 years!


PS. To my dear brothers & SILs you better watch out cus "Widow Twanky" is coming to town!

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
