Day 16 Recap

Jim & Davey showed up real early this morning & decided the first would be to move the refrigerator back into the kitchen.


Here's the most important things from my freezer.
"Let's go you two....my ice cream is melting!"
It's only in place temporarily as the water line for the ice maker has to be hooked up.
I was so thrilled to see this back into my driveway at 11:15!  I had a doctor's appointment at 1:30 & was sure I would be gone when they came.
The first glimpse of the counter.
That side of the room was all in one big piece & was very heavy!
They had it almost in place when there was a "whoops"!
They hadn't taken the slats out of the sink cabinet so it didn't fit!  Hang on Davey....they be back in five!!!
Yeah.......that looks better!
Jim is the first to sit at the breakfast bar........after all it was his idea!
When I left he was installing the faucet.



That's it until Monday but I can now use the sink, stove & microwave even though the refrigerator & stove are only temporarily in place.  I can put dishes away in all the cabinets around the sink so I will get a head start on that.  I don't have any outlets yet but I'm figuring Jim out now.........he gives you enough each day to make you happy but not enough so you move completely in!!!  Gotta love that guy!

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
