A little of this, a little of that

These are a few shots I found on my camera
I believe I took them about a week or so ago....who knows!
I am obsessed lately with trying to grow grass in the back yard.  It's looking better but far from meeting my standards.  This apparently is the year of the acorns & the oaks are dropping an abnormal amount of them.  I'm out there trying to carefully rake them off the new grass along with all the leaves coming off the tree that has gone into dormancy.
It seems like we were just getting out all the patio furniture & now it's almost time to put it away!
We had a couple cool nights & this week it's supposed to be in the 40's.....maybe one night even colder!!!!

Definitely not ready for that!

Love

  1. Are you going to sit outside and make sure your grass is warm enough. Hang it up, it will be covered ina big white blanket before you know it. It's YOUR grass therefore it will be perfect before you know if.

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
