MISS "B"........THE BOSS......AND ME..... WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I was going through my desk drawers the other day when I came across my stash of letters....cards and e-mails from Tom..... That would be Tom Snyder of Late Night Fame..... Let me start back a few years...... Well more then just a few years......it was back in 1973 and me and the Boss had not been married very long....We would stay up late at night and tune in to The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder..... We instantly became fans and would continue to watch Tom all through the years......When daughter went away to college we had officially hooked her on Tom as well.... How could you not become hooked.... Daughter didn't have cable t.v. or any t.v. for that matter up in Ithaca so I would tape Tom's shows for her and mail them up every couple of weeks... After all those years we felt like Tom was part of the family.... For any of you that watched his shows he always had a segment where the viewers could call in and ask Tom and his guests questions or just call in to chit chat.... To...

Today some of us Atlanta Bloggers had the pleasure of lunching with these amazing Ladies..... This is Nola and Karyn.....better known as..... The Bloom Girls..... Before going any further let me point out that both ladies are grandmothers...... Yes, they are truly amazing...... I should look half as good!!! Getting together for a pre-Christmas luncheon we had quite the mix of extra special talent.... We had a Santa Maker..... A World Class Tablescaper..... Two Decorators.....those lovely ladies above.... A Candy Maker and one Chatty lady that says she has no talent.... But believe me she sure does.... She posts every single day and never fails to post interesting and funny stories and pictures and whatever else is happening in her life.... And I just love reading it everyday..... She's like the morning paper.... she always delivers.... I stepped up onto this gorgeous porch only to find myself hunting for a door bell..... It was hidden behind the garland so I just knocked.... But l...

Another Thursday Another Tablescape hosted by.... The Best Little Tablescaper in the South... Susan @ http://www.bewtweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ We won't be having Christmas dinner at home this year but the table is set so pictures needed to be taken... My table is the first thing you see when my front door opens and I always enjoy stepping inside and seeing the table set.... I decided to set the table using some of my milk glass and some newly acquired holiday goodies that were found for next to nothing prices.... The wreath was purchased at Home Depot for only $6.00 on Black Friday.... Intending to hang on the front door I changed my mind when I saw how good it looked in the center of the table.... The great tureen inside the wreath was purchased a few weeks ago in an antique store in Woodstock for $6.85....complete with ladle!! Aren't those great looking placemats..... They are red felt and I found those for $1.89 each at Old Time Pottery here in Marietta... Our Hos...
