Johnson's Farm Store

 We got up to rain on Weds morning so we had a slow start to the day.  We had finished another 1,000 piece puzzle
We took a ride to Johnson's Farm store in Oldhurst.....right across the street from where Nigel & Susan lived up until our mother died

 Look yummy potatoes & vegetables right from the farm

 This was one section of the gift shop

 These are all the exotic meats they sell here
 Burger anyone?

 More of the gift shop
 This peacock just wandered around everywhere

 As did the turkeys & ducks
 Some pigs
 Two tom turkeys strutting their stuff
 This was one of their wives

 Buffalo......I wondered if they've figured out why they are there?
 Big fat alligator.....does he know why he's there?  I wanted to tell them all to start running for the hills!
 He was bored & was taking a nap.
 There's that peacock again.....was peacock on the menu?
 Oh look that darn red kite taunting me again!

They have a really nice tea shop there so we went in & had lunch....delicious omelets & homemade bread.
This is the way people drive......on a narrow road they pull over & wait for you
 They should be so courteous in this country.
Look at the daffodils growing on the roadside.
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
