A Fourth of July date

I usually work on holidays so they become just another "ho hum" day.........however this year I declared the end of working them!   Popster took me on a date!

Of course as usual we were not alone

We were on our way to Cooperstown when I spotted this amazing antique store........I begged for one of these but it fell on deaf ears!

I was a "little kid in a candy store"
There was "stuff" as far as the eye could see....& then some!
I wanted this too
We then went inside & found bodies
See all the "heads" in the dresser on the left.....spooky!
There was even a little "porn"
We drove through Cooperstown so we could get to the Glimmer Glass Park to take a walk with Molly
Apparently we were the only people on town that didn't know about the parade!
We were literally in the middle of it for about 20mins....couldn't go anywhere!  A very nice cop finally told us we could follow along behind as long as we went "real" slow.  Popster had trouble dodging all the horse poop!!
We finally made it to the park.

Taking a slight detour off the marked trail


Then came the "gourmet" lunch he promised me
Check out some of our lunch companions...."motor cycle Momma & Poppa"  they could hardly walk but they were riding the two spiffiest bikes in the parking lot!
Lunch did come with a nice view!

  1. I want to go there. That shop looks a little eerie though.
    Odd date!

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
