BLUE Review.....

Today was out of the house! Reported to my  car dealership for 2 itty-bitty maintenance items on Baby. Ralph( yes, we're on a 1st name basis!!) advised it would be an hr. or so.* They were slammed w/teachers off this week, trying to get in/out for vacation trips.*
Arrived early....'bout 45min. (wanted in/out asap!) Proceeded to "wait" area. At 10:30, I went back to check "status" of work. Duh. There had been a "mix-up" and would be another 1-1 1/2hrs. Now, you know how that affected my pleasant personality. LOL
So....Ralph offered to "talk" to the mgr. and "move things along". Ok....then give me a driver, or a car, so I can go get vittles! He did! (but the  joke was on me, as I see it!)
This is what I so sweetly received to drive:

*that's Vickie in the car*
That ugggggleeee thing was UNbelievably  SMALL inside. We were almost sitting in each other's laps!! Then, when we arrived----I barely was able to get my legs outta that thang! (learned  to let seat baaaaack alllll the way, so I could get out!)
My Camaro is a "cadillac" in space vs this thang. !!
This Buick is a brand spankin NEW one---plastic still all over everything. Liked the color. The one positive asset is the back up CAMERA. Dang. That really is a Neat-0 feature!!

The FUN was brunch @ IHOP. It was delish and we both enjoyed our food!
Hit the mall......Bath&Body Works, then took that Blue thang back to it's destination.!! Happily.
Picked up my Baby.....off to Bed,Bath&Beyond.
The "cherry on top" was when Ralph reduced my charges on the work done! *appreciated*
 Guess Ralph  felt bad about the
"mix-up" and the Blue thang---(No charge!!) Thank you very much.........
It was a twisted, yet interesting trip today!!
THANKS to my "go buddie"<Vicke> for chaperoning me....LOL

Porch BABY....

Image
Walked out on porch this morning, enroute to my car. Noticed a bird, perched on the top of the screen door. Upon further inspection-----it was a BABY! It's lil feet firmly attached to the screen and backed up into the corner as tightly as possible! I tried thumping the screen to "shoo" him on...didn't work. Then, open & closed door...didn't work. It would just squeel sorta! and remain in place! I went on outside (w/camera, ofcourse)...no movement frm that attached stance. It's lil feet were firmly attached. I tried prodding gently w/broom handle....nothing! I knew it was a baby, it's lil eyes were only slightly open. Went back on porch and put on my softest gloves. Went out and gently removed it frm it's perch grip....boy did it fuss at me loudly! I know it was scared. Took the fella out and tried to place it on a bush limb. When I let go....it flew....not well, but it did fly off. It came back toward higher branch & lit there. Aft...

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos...

MEMORIES.....of Evonne

Image
Isn't she beautiful? Such an ol' soul w/a very sweet spirit about her. This is a difficult blog to write....LIFEtime/Sista friend, and "Auntie" Evonne. It is one I must write for me. Tears already falling....it's still very raw. We spent so much quality time together thru our years. Friends, school chums, and then....she married my Uncle Herman. Wow! Now she was "legally" a member of our family. How wonderful! Our lives were so intertwined....and will always be that way. There  simply is no way to express all we shared in this blog! Evonne SHARED so very much w/me. At the top....her dear Mother....Miss Louise. Miss Louise was a friend, mentor and 2nd mother. She treated me as her own daughter. I MISS her so very much, and now, I MISS Evonne, too. As Donnie said....it SUCKS!! Evonne also SHARED her beautiful daughter--Bonnie, and her 2 grandkids. I am unable to clearly express the love and fun those 2 kids have brought to my life. All 3 of them w...
