Virginia Beach

 We left Tom & Carol's early Thurs morning to head home & here's where things started to go downhill.  Popster was coming down with what we thought was a cold & hadn't felt good for a couple of days.  He was coughing most of the night Tues & Weds so consequently neither of us were getting any sleep.
 After being on the road for about an hour he wanted me to drive......one problem when I don't sleep at night I get very drowsy in the car.  We had reservations for a room in Virginia Beach which wasn't that far but we made multiple stops & drank gallons of coffee.
 We made it there by around 4:00pm with enough time to take Molly for a quick run on the beach


As you can see we were the only fools out there!


 
 I found a piece of driftwood
 This was an amazing man-made shell garden

 We found a place to get take-out & were holed up in our room by 6:00pm.  I was looking for the closest urgent care center for Popster because I was sure he would give in & want to go but he wanted to wait until morning.
Love

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
