We have been looking at houses for the past 12 years...... Yes...that's right people.....12 long years.... We are known up and down the EAST COAST as "those people" from the Jersey Shore to Atlanta I don't even know how many houses over the years We have looked at..... In anticipation of this Day........ We were ready for "House Hunters".... I mean any two Smucks that have looked at houses for that long deserve to be on T.V. So the minute I knew a new house was finally in our near future I contacted the folks at HGTV.... I filled out the extensive application including the requested "photo" of Us..... Perhaps using a picture of me and the Boss where we resemble Carmelo and Tony Soprano was not such a clever idea.... Leather jackets......sunglasses and a Fedora.... Perhaps Overkill but I wanted us to appear HIP and YOUNG.... Not Old and Stodgy.... I heard back from producer Lori Hirsch within two days......sayin...

F ive Months go by slowly when your in New Jersey This Sign on I-95 proclaims "Welcome to New Jersey" But they really don't mean it..... But we were there for a mission and that included spending time with our beloved Miss "B" Me and daughter promptly hit up the Philadelphia Flower Show at Joyce's Advise..... The orchids were beautiful but between me and daughter we had little interest in the whole Flower Thing..... Heck....it didn't even smell good... Speaking of smelling we had to clean out the Big Boss' house after he passed away.... No easy task as the man had hoarded food since the early 80's.... Hundreds of cans of "stuff" like sardines and soy sauce marked with a Sharpie marker from 1986? Don't Ask..... We have no idea where this man shopped..... he dated these 8/92 Shortly after arriving the Boss got sick of driving my Bug so treated himself To what "B" calls the "Snake Car" a Mustang GT500 Cobra.... Oye...

Do you find that people think all women are Stupid??? And I'm talking even other women.... When I left you all some 5 months ago I told you about two sofas we had purchased At Macy's Furniture here in Atlanta.... To jog your memory we needed to get one of the cushions replaced and when we Heard the sofa's had been discontinued we requested a cushion off the Floor Sample... You can read the original post HERE and see photo's of the sofa in question... Macy's got real testy with this request and said under No Circumstances would they be able to give us "One" cushion off the floor model..... Finding this a bit Odd..... to Say the Least....... I made many phone calls and Finally got the floor sample cushion.... But upon further "sitting tests"......our butts told us that something was Very Very Wrong..... The New cushion was not the same as the other Five ??? Oh No.....it can't be that what they sold us on the sales floor was not the same QUALIT...

I have been away from blogging for a very long time..... Since February to be exact.... When the "Big Boss" became sick and we had to go to New Jersey..... As most of you know the Big Boss was the father to "The Boss"... My husband John.... The Big Boss passed away on March 9th. a few months short of his 90th. Birthday... In the Shadow of the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon in Washington sits Arlington National Cemetery.... With all of his friends passed away and no family besides us there was no funeral service at the time of this death..... We opted to take advantage of the wonderful Military Service that the Government offers to people who have served in the military.... Corporal Michael F. Adivari Served for four years during World War Two and was awarded the Bronze Star.... On June 30th. His ashes were laid to rest in the Columbariam at Arlington A total of 19 Military personal honored his service.... 6 Men escorted his Urn into a covered area on the grounds for ...
