"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hey BEAgle... I am... not up to much. Looks like we're on a quiet sail today. Laying on my berth with my black kitty who is purring like a steam train. On own this weekend. Doing a spot of Wordsworthing "Wandering lonely as a Cloud" but the daffodils are buttercups.

Ahhhhhhh... this time last weekend we were all on our way Must try to do something useful today - mebbe in a little bit.

Hope all is ticketyboo with you and you enjoy the Golden Day. You will. How wonderful

FQ's hub is back today from Utah - they've really missed each other - he was playing team building out there for a couple weeks with some lads - and she's glad he's coming home. He's knackered. A big lorry took out her front wall in the garden yesterday - bless - she has bricks everywhere. Luckily no-one was hurt (learner driver in the lorry who passed his test yesterday ) but they had left their details and witness reports so it will all get sorted no probs. We did laugh last nite - fancy driving home and finding your wall gone. Hubby will have a fit. HA! IT'S JUST A WALL - no biggie!

I'm missing her bigtime.

Sun is shining midst the clouds and a few showers in Devon - garden needs a serious haircut. Not today.

I'm getting a black bin liner today - then going around the house and all the things I haven't picked up since the day I moved here... are going in the bag and to a place where someone can make good use of them.

Right now.... gonna make a brew. Love you D. x

A truck hit FQ's wall? The driver of that lory must have been kin to Robert Frost, Izzie.

“Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.”



Hope we get to see photo's from the American in England, etc.

Hey, we love you Brits regardless of our Declaration of Independence.

Hello again Izzie, since my last post visitors have rocked up, and we're in the process of downing a bottle of spirits accompanied by tasty titbits of everything.

Doesn't time fly, last week this time you were having a great time with FQ, no wonder you miss her. Happy for her K. is home again. Lucky both weren't in the front garden when that lorry hit.

Hope you get your planned chores done today, then put your feet up and watch the Williams sisters battle out the final at Wimbledon. I know we will.

Going back to my visitors, enjoy the rest of your day. (((Izzie)))

Good morning all,
Its a rainy, overcast day here in Western Ky, but its still a great day.

Stacy and I have been married 1 year today.
How she has put up with me for this long I will never know.
We are going to the river this evening to watch the fireworks and enjoy ourselves.

Happy 4th of July to everyone here in the states.
I realize that its a day of mourning for our Brit friends but its a good day for Americans.

There really hasnt been much going on around here, just working and going home.

happy anniversary, MM.

you made me wonder.

Does Britain secretly have a "good riddance" day we don't know about???

Izz...

I’z here...

Sorry " one of those days. My bin liner is still in the cupboard.

Congratulations Jeff & Stacy " HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

“May you always be warmed by each other's smile,
Always take time to walk and talk a while,
Always know deep down you're each other's best friend,
And enjoy the kind of love that grows and knows no end.
Wishing you an 'always' kind of love!”

Paper Roses




Letty " only celebrations for all of you " hoping you’re all having a great day " wish I were there to join in the festivities. I remember happy times in the US when we lived there, celebrating my son being American by birth. July 4th is a special day for Independence. Love you all xxxx



RH " hugging you darlin’ " laying down right now but... can kick up my legs tho!

New York New York anywhere...



Start spreading the news, Im leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you - New York, New York

Lovin’ y’all " those near and far and around the world

Moving on to Byron...

Yes, I think they do.
It would be Dec 24, when the treaty of Ghent was signed.

Thats when they finally got rid of us (the US).

Izzie,
Thank you for your words.
Your friendship means much to me.

Wow MM. Congrats on your first year toward what I pray will be a long, long, LONG life of happiness together. ElStud and I are going on 50 years together and a whole lot of that was really good.

And Happy Independence Day to Americans, happy other celebrations for others, and a great Saturday wished for everybody else. The sun is shining in New Mexico but we are anticipating rain.

It's all good.

hey Iz,

thanks for S girls prezzies she loved them! and Happy independance day all you USA's!

Had a number of texts this evening from you know IZ and have spoken true and stuff!!
Yep girlies are watching Videos and things!

Hope everyone is ok. Boy am I aching from tree surfing!

Thank you Fox, for your kind words.

But just to let you know...
If you had killed ElStud when you first met him, you would be out of prison by now

Well yeah I guess so.

I tried to auction him off a couple of times, but nobody could afford him. Back then we had one car so anybody who ran away from home would have to make other arrangements. So we often speculated that if we had ever had the price of a bus ticket AND clean laundry all at the same time, one or the other of us would have left.

But he was a keeper from the beginning and still is. I like to think he feels the same way about me.

If not, we still don't usually have the price of a bus ticket AND clean laundry on the days we're really mad.

I LIKE THAT.
I'll have to tell Stacy that.

Stacy is actually my 2nd wife.
I lost my first one years ago to COPD.
If she had lived we would have been married 20 years last September.

But, I count myself as a very lucky man.
I have had the privelege to love 2 women in my lifetime (not counting my mom).

And right now Stacy means more to me then my own life.
To use an old cliche, she has made me the man I am today.

After I lost Kathy, I let myself go.
I didnt care about my health, I didnt care about my diet, and I just didnt care if I lived or died.
Now I do, and I owe it all to Stacy.

You are indeed blessed to have somebody you can feel that way about. As is she.

Hey J " blessed to know you hun " thanku " it’s a two way feeling. X When you find a person in your life who makes you feel alive " then breathing is easy - so pleased you found this more than once in your life. Have a beautiful day with Stacy " love to all the family xxxx

FoxyF " hey there " Golden coming up for you and hubby " may you always have washing in your basket Very Happy 4th to you and family - enjoy yourselves.

Tulip " I’m starting a countdown for Oz.... ok... we’re 21 days until your birthday and flight Down Under. So... here we go " three weeks tomorrow you will be flying high...... 21.......... and counting. Oh my sensibilities! True to you girl " think of you " you are very special " always remember that. Keep yerself safe love.
