I am a Huge Bob Vila fan...have watched him since the very first TOH....When husband was in the home improvement business there was a big Home Show here in Atlanta for the trade....Well you know I had to horn in on the fun...Especially when I heard Bob would be there....He was very gracious to everyone asking for his picture...just a regular nice guy....I'm only sorry I look pale as a ghost in the picture....it must have been the flash!!

I'm going to totally agree with you on that one.......This Old House was the very first "fix it" show I ever watched. I couldn't wait to get home from work on Saturdays to put my feet up and watch. I didn't have a VCR.... so it meant a really zippy drive home! Bwob (you know, that's how Nom says it).. :-) is my HERO.

Blessings!

Awesome! Yeah, I'd rather have a guy who could build a deck.

Sue, The comment you left about your husband's thoughts on bloggers had me laughing. My husband along with my entire family refer to my "imaginary" friends when I mention the word blog.

I LOVE Bob Villa! Now, where, when and what did you say/he say! Details dearie! Details!
Like you I too think a man like Bob should be an *idol* Forget crooning, just bulid me something! I also used to say that I would take Norm Abrams over most celebrities! heck, Norm could have built me a whole house! : )

Hmm...I wonder if Brian is good with a hammer...a saw??

I know I needed to email you...I will soon but Mom is doing better. She has bad days of course but is feeling better. You are so sweet to ask. I was surely scared...*sigh*

More soon...

Love,
Sue

Bob trumps crappy simgers any day in my book (though in fairness I've never watched American Idol so not sure "crappy" isn't a bit much...)

I SEE DEAD PEOPLE.........a Blog Pause.

Image
Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TABLESCAPE THURSDAY.........MONET'S TABLE...American Style.

Image
Welcome to another edition of Tablescape Thursday hosted by the talented "Head Tablescaper" Susan at http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ This is the most fun I have had in a long time.....If you haven't joined in on the fun you should give it a try. You probably have more things around the house to dress up your table then you think....This week I decided to do a take on Monet's Table in Giverney France.....If you have ever seen a picture of his home Claude had the original designer kitchen.....We had the pleasure of visiting the home while in France and we even had a picnic on the grounds before touring the home and gardens. When we got back home daughter bought me this lovely book. It's a combination picture book of the home and gardens and a cookbook....It can be found on http://www.amazon.com/ I thought I would call my tablescape this week Monet's Table....."American Style"...using the colors of Monet's kitchen, yellow and blue.....

PROFESSIONAL HOUSE HUNTERS.........

Image
Who doesn't love "House Hunters".....you get to sit back and see inside people's homes....you get to see different style houses in different parts of the country and the best part......how the houses are decorated.....It's virtual house shopping......Well me and the Boss have turned this into an art... Not by choice......it has just happened.... We live in Atlanta but as everyone knows we would love to move back to the "Motherland" New Jersey We know.....who would want to actually move to N.J. but as you also know that's where daughter and Miss B reside..... We have been looking at homes for years now......some of you know why we haven't made the move yet and it's just too wacky for the rest of you to understand.... Let's just say it's a timing thing....... Anyhoo ..... everytime we visit Jersey we like to see what's on the market and we are very lucky to have a wonderful realtor who knows the situation and is perfectly fine with...
