New Year's Eve

New Yer's turned out to be a beautiful night with temps in the 40's so Mark & LiLi decided to got with us....Dani always goes out to dinner with her family. 

 LiLi was just beside her self with excitement & here she is skipping along the sidewalk with Jessie.....it was really funny as she had know idea what it was all about but she was gonna have fun doing it!
 We couldn't get by the carousel without going for a ride.

 She is patiently waiting her turn............
 ....for Ren-e the clown to make her a balloon animal.
 She chose a horse.
 We needed to get the proper head gear.
 And some mac & cheese for supper.

 This was an inter-active video game where you could make yourself part of the action on the screen.

 New Year's eve is not complete without the famous "kettle corn"
 We went to visit the alpacas.
We visited mostly acts geared toward children but then went to a couple other ones which LiLi enjoyed more.....one was an improv show & she was giggling so loud she had everyone around her laughing.  Her evening ended at 10pm when Mark thought it was late enough but we stayed for the fireworks at midnight.

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
