39 YEARS AGO TODAY...................

I dressed up as a bride for Halloween ..........
My father blindfolded me...put me in the back seat of the local funeral homes limo....
and drove me to the St. Mary's church.....
I thought I was going "Trick or Treating"........I ended up bringing home a husband in my trick or treat bag.......
and it's been pretty scary ever since....
Happy Anniversay Boss......
I expect a trip to Paris for our 40th.....
Start planning!

p.s. dress made by me for a mere $40.
White velvet with emerald green velvet buttons.....my hair was not as long as it looks...there was a long green ribbon down the back of the hat.....
flowers were orange...green and yellow straw....
which I still have!

Happy anniversary to you two!! I should have known you got married on Halloween. Look at you - you were such a 1970s bride. I love that you made your dress. May you have many more anniversaries. Keep pushing for that trip to Paris next year. I didn't get to go until our 50th anniversary, but it was worth the wait. Sally

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..........................

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.....
