Popster & the driftwood

Popster asked me what I wanted to do yesterday afternoon so very nonchalantly I suggested that we went to Vischer's Ferry to walk on the path up to Lock 7.
 I will admit there was an ulterior motive.....
 With the weather we have been having I just knew it would be a driftwood graveyard....
 See how high the river is.....

 I was right......
 Oh boy which piece do I want?

 While Molly was checking out the water I carefully selected the biggest piece I thought I could carry.  I knew I would get the "driftwood lecture" from Popster but I hauled in up on my shoulder & set out for the car anyway.

It must have weighed at least 25lbs & it was about a mile back to the car.

 Popster chose to ignore me & walked a little ahead of me so I played the game.

Big sighs while I stopped to switch shoulders or carry it a different way
 Before you know it this is what happened!
That's why he's a "keeper"!
Love

  1. While he was "hauling the big load' you should have run back for some smaller ones. LOL

    If Molly was just a little bigger she could have helped.

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
