When I was younger, I wanted to be a vendor at a Flea Market.
Never made it.
Couldn't find enough fleas.

You can always get a doormat. I want one that says, "Did you call first?"I couldn’t find one that said Go Away, Please.

Another flag, for St. Pat’s Day, and that thing on the left is a magnetic house number holder. We already have the metal stand. It just needs a new sticky bit.

Now this is funny. These are metal Christmas thingies. The red ones are the size of cantaloupes, to give you a scale, and these will hang from our outside front porch lights.
The funny thing is, you can see they’re purposely scratched up and distressed, to give them a farmy-homey look. They had about a dozen of those big ones hanging from the ceiling, and dontcha know, MrsT had to go over each one, selecting snd comparing, eliminating this one and choosing that one, until she got exactly the rusty ones she wanted.
Unless, of course, your dog sleeps on top of it and no-one gets the message.You can always get a doormat.
We don't have a dog!Unless, of course, your dog sleeps on top of it and no-one gets the message.
Then it's time to invest in man's best friend!We don't have a dog!
Uh, no. We have wild animals that are fairly tame (squirrels, birds, rabbits, etc.) and we are not responsible for vet bills or any kennel boarding when we decide to up and leave for a few weeks/month. Also live by a busy road...Then it's time to invest in man's best friend!
I'm pretty sure when I look at the photo's I can smell bleachAll we know is that they probably don't involve alcohol...
To me this whole hotel seems quite 'spartan' and slightly eerie because its all so uncluttered both inside and out. It's all too neat... what was that film...?
Well plans changed a little. We're still going to Florida to the resort, but we are going to Kentucky for a night 1st, then Tennessee for a week, then spending the night in Alabama somewhere (TBD). After that we are going to stay with my husband's cousin and his wife in Navarre, FL (near Pensacola) for a week, then to Destin for a week, and 2 overnights in the way back to Ohio (it's 16 hours from northwest Florida to Ohio). We are going to wait for the Texas trip another time (probably March). So 3 and 1/2 weeks is a good vacation!I booked the Florida portion of our fall trip last night. We are going to a beach resort in my hometown of Destin, FL for 11 days. My husband's cousin (who introduced us 25 years ago) and his wife still live in Navarre, Florida (about 30 miles west of Destin), so after we check out of the resort we are going to stay with them for a few days (I think). Of course if they want they can come out to see us and have dinner while we are in Destin, but they both work and go to bed early, plus traffic is horrible in Destin so it could take them an hour or more to get to where we are staying.

After that we will drive over to New Orleans (3.5 hours west of Navarre) for a couple of nights. Haven't booked that part yet. DH needs to talk to his cousins and wife 1st to make sure they're available for us to visit and we can figure out dates.
Quite a trip! That sounds really good!Well plans changed a little
We met there, I was living there and his cousin introduced us. This is us 25 years ago:Quite a trip! That sounds really good!
I am the disoriented one, between my boyfriend and me.My DH is directionally impaired as well. Good thing I'm not.
You are such a lovely couple!This is us 25 years ago:
Well that was 25 years ago, lol. We don't look like that now. But thank you!You are such a lovely couple!
My dad taught me to use a compass when I was very young. He also taught me to rely on it when he taught me to drive. I've always made sure every car I bought had one, and nowadays if we are going to be in an unfamiliar place I'll look at a map online before we go. Even without looking at a map I'm good at getting around. Thanks dad!I am the disoriented one, between my boyfriend and me.
Although, buildings and even streets are ok, but driving around, turns, dark, I frequently ask' Sooo, where are we now?'
it's a running joke really by now.
At times I will get a glance, or an info, or a total nonsense, or we laugh.
