I was doing the laundry the other day when I heard the Boss coming down the stairs to see what I was doing.... He was whistling which wasn't unusual since we are a big family of Whistlers..... It's what he was whistling that kinda surprised me..... So I asked him if he realized what the tune was...... He said " Ofcourse ....it's our wedding song".... You see 40 years ago today when we married I was as unconventional As I am today.... Instead of the traditional wedding march I came down the aisle to Irving Berlin's 1926 Classic song "Always"..... From my favorite movie of all time "Since You Went Away" The organist also played the song "Together" from the same movie.... For those of you who are not familiar with "Always" here are the Lyrics..... I'll be loving you Always With a Love that's True Always...... When the things You Plan...Need a helping Hand.... I will Understand....Always....Always.... Days may not b...

We had our carpets cleaned earlier this week by Sears..... Both me and the Boss were a bit curious to see the cleaning guy come in and start going around the house with a black light.... You know like the ones they use when looking for crime scene clues.... I felt like I was in an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent... The Real Crime was when he handed me the bill and the amount was different then what I agreed to online.... It seems in the tiny print on their contract they have a $14.00 Fuel Charge..... Can you imagine if everyone that performed a service for you charged you for gas to get to work..... Leave it to Sears.......

We have the best Vet in the world..... And I wanted to share this with you all.... When Boo became ill unexpectedly we decided to bring him home and wait until the following day to take him to the vet that has taken care of him for years...... He wasn't in any pain so we knew we had atleast another night to baby him.... When we got back from Jersey in the mail was a wonderful card from Dr. Barnwell and his staff at the Hwy. 92 Animal Hospital in Woodstock...Georgia. in the card was a note saying to stop by the office because they had something for us.... Dr. B had made an imprint of Boo's paw in clay..... I don't have to tell you how we all teared up when we received it.... What a wonderful keepsake to be given... The Big Guy is gone but his leash will hang by the front door forever...... For Taking care of our Boo in his life and at his death... Thank You Dr. Barnwell....

I have been reading Country Living Magazine Since the 1970's so when I saw their Fair was coming to Atlanta I knew I had to put it on my Calendar..... Oh sure Like I have some busy Social Schedule..... Signing up my blogging pals Joyce.......our old "Flour Power" Friend....and Cheri from Geer Gathering we met up early this morning over at Stone Mountain Park..... A beautiful Atlanta day I knew the day would be fun spending it with these two crazy Ladies.... A perfect setting for a Country Fair..... We wandered through the trees watching brooms being made..... And Country Collectibles For Sale.... Lot's of Fall Decorations for inspiration.... Joyce even found every ones favorite fall treat..... The Giant Apple. For those people who came to sell oddities..... There was no shortage.... We stood wondering what in the World these things were meant to be used for..... Sometimes cheap isn't always good.... Lot's of furniture.... Charming Country Vignettes in the wo...

SURPRISE...... Once upon a time there was a Georgia Blogger named Sue who was turning the Big 60! Now Sue said she wanted no fuss for the big occasion and her blogging friends said Hogwash! The Blog gals always look for any excuse to throw a party and Sue's 60 th . is one party the blog gals all wanted to celebrate.....Plans were made far in advance...There was much chatter going on about the exact date of the party....So much chatter on emails and phone calls that the blog gals were causing more chaos over at Yahoo and AT&T then Nancy Pelosi causes in D.C. The Plan was to pin Sue down to a definite return date from the "Motherland" to visit her daughter and her littlest clone sweet Sophie.....Joyce tried and tried and one day when they were out to lunch with Cheryl to find out a date...Sadly no return date was uttered by Sue....Usually Sue utters quite often about all sorts of nonsense but that day Sue's lips were sealed....After many e-mails and sneaky ways...

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT IN MY LAST TWO POSTS.... ESPECIALLY FOR THE ONES AFTER BOO PASSED AWAY... THE "BOSS" READ EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM AND HE SENDS A BIG THANK YOU TOO!!
