Good thing it was decaf!

Yesterday i decided to finish up the painting in the kitchen. The ceiling & wall coming into the kitchen from the stairs needed to be patched which meant I would have to redo the stripes. I had put the base coat on & now needed to put the frog tape on to do the stripes. Of course I didn't have enough tape so I needed to go to W*lmarts. I was in my workout clothes & hadn't showered but figured I would fit right in with the Saturday crowd. I put on a coat & scarf, pulled on a hat & off we went.

Popster dropped me at the door & went to get his truck washed. I ran around, picking up some groceries as well & headed for the "speed" (not)checkout. I was behind this strange looking character who had on glasses with the thickest lenses I have ever seen. He was so hyper & could not stand still. The line wasn't going anywhere & before long he started yelling at the top of his lungs "WHY DO YOU HAVE ALL THESE REGISTRIES (yes that's how he said it) IF YOU ONLY HAVE TWO OPEN?"  He then picked up a magazine & held it about an inch from his eyes swaying back & forth.  Then it was back to yelling or mumbling.

The funny part of the whole thing was the only thing in his cart was a giant container of decaffeinated coffee!  Can you imagine what he'd be like with a shot of caffeine???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

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

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

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while &
