Uck Ohhhh.....

It happened as I was sitting in the turn lane for the grocery store last Wednesday....

I had left work a little early to make the stop and get home before the holiday rush traffic...

Thank Goodness it could have been worst...!

The young man who hit me was extremely upset and I suggested we call his parents and then the police...which we did...

We have the same insurance agent and the officer who took the report was the young man that worked maintenance at the park this summer...

Everyone was OK and we all shook hands and hugged goodbye....

The joys of a small town...!!

Can You Hear Me Now...?!

(

 (7am this morning....sunrise over the mountains)

 

CityBoy and the male parental unit are off to the VA in Tennessee....

They are picking up CityBoys hearing aides..

I've teased CityBoy for years....the reason our marriage has lasted 39 years is because he traveled the first 27 years and has not been able to hear me for the past 12 years....

Hummmm.....

Hope he likes what I have to say.....

Change of Plans....

Seems Thanksgiving is gonna be at my house this year....

Yikes...!!

This means I have to dust and vacuum...

Wonder if the family would mind having lunch at the park...?

Rainy Days

and migraines get me down...

I'd been fighting a migraine headache since Sunday and yesterday I finally gave in to it...

ugh....!!

Pain meds are a wonderful things....

except

I can't drive while I'm taking them...

But

it was OK...'cause I think we got about 2" of rain yesterday...

A good day to stay in bed...

A Toddler....

Having a young dog is like having a toddler in the house..!

Meg....

she's made herself at home ...

she's got toys all over the floor and doesn't pick them up....

she's got an inside bark and an outside bark....

she gives lots of kisses and likes to cuddle...

she gets Max up off the couch and makes him play...

she loves the CAT...and her stuffed banana...!

she's a chow hound....can't get enough to eat...

cries when we leave and is over joyed when we come home...

Yep

Like a toddler...!

What's not to love?

ps....LobsterMan is still with us - minus a couple of legs....

It's a Tough Job....

But someones gotta hold down the dogs' bed....

Right, Misskitty...?

Good Morning....!

View from the front porch at 6:45 this morning....

..Go For Your Dreams..

Fall is hanging on....

But...

You know "ole man winter" is on the way when the weather guru's starting tossing around the phrase....."possible flurries for the mountains"....

I heard it twice on yesterdays local news cast...!!

..Go For Your Dreams..

this "Sums" It Up.....

..Go For Your Dreams..

Time Moves Along...

It happens every Fall...

The Dillard Brothers appear out of the morning fog and mist to mow the acreage and "fix" the washed-out driveway...

It happened a little bit later this year due to the rainy weather we've had for the last few weeks.

But....now we look like this...

and guess what?

It's raining again...!

"So Long"....new driveway.....  ;(

..Go For Your dreams..

Hello...Old Friend..!

the Sun is out this morning..!

Shine brightly while you can ... the weather gurus are predicting more rain and fog by mid-afternoon..

..Go For Your Dreams..

OK...I'm Ready

this has been the view from the front porch for the last few days....

Wet and foggy!

Last year at this time we had snow on the ground...

I'm ready for some of those bright sunny cold days of a North Carolina fall...

but

this year you can keep the snow...

Thanks..!

11 Years Old....

we think...!

Misskitty had a birthday....

Since we first noticed her running around the woods in late October nine years ago we decided her official birthday would be Halloween...

The vet estimate at the time we rescued her she was 2 years old and we've had her for nine years....

2+9=11

Right?

Anyway......that evil look in her eyes makes Halloween the perfect birthday for the cat from Hell...!

We love you kitty....
