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!

Bob Villa is the guy that started it all, there would be no HGTV if he didn't pave the way...what's it like to be his wife---remodeling job that probably never get done!

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.

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 ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
