So, are you a Southern gentleman?

[dutchess]

Oh hon...I never thought you were making light of the vacation thing. This will just be different. Our first time there last month was VERY difficult... It was always Mr. D and my intention to buy it...BUT...we really avoided the place and questioned whether that was what we wanted. It was tough...BUT we also realized we LOVE the place and that's where we want to be. I'm sure there will be bittersweet times this time too. But we must move on.

What a sweet bittersweet tale about your family place. I look back and really wish I had spent more time "getting to know" my grandparents when I was younger. So much history and so much to tell. Love you Nan.

Happy TGIF, everybody.

Nice pics, Amy. Wow, LouieMax is big. I mean, BIG

Found a dog haiku for you:

I love my master;
Thus I perfume myself with
This long-rotten squirrel.

I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You will ever be.

Today I sniffed many
Doggie derrieres - and I celebrate
By kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Paperboy - come to kill us all -
Look! Look! Look! Look!

I lift my leg and
Anoint each bush. Hello, Spot -
Sniff this and weep.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I
Have made a puddle.

Behold my choke chain -
Look, world, they strangle me!
Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!

Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot -no greater bliss -
Well, maybe catching rats. . .

Dig under fence-why?
Because it's there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.

My owners' mood is
Romantic - I lie near their
Feet, expelling much gas.

How do I love thee?
The ways are numberless as
My hairs on the rug.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you so much.

I'm officially finished with summer school now.

Great news, Tulip! Congratulations.

[WVNan]

Hey you! I've missed you a whole bunch.

[WVNan]

You all drive carefully now and God be with you.

[WVNan]

That is too cute Victoria. How ya doing?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Doing good, Nan. Good to see you.

How's it going, still busy?

[WVNan]

Busy for another week and then possibly a bit of rest until Oct. when the holiday preparations begin at church.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, if you are happy, that's all it matters.

[WVNan]

I'm pretty happy. It's better to be busy than to have nothing to do. And my beautiful little grandaughter is a delight to my heart.

[Victoria Delsoul]

So glad to hear that, Nan!

Hugs!!!

I am still up playing with pix.. how was the Fresno Freep Amy/Lori?

[tuliptree76]

Tomorrow, I'm planning on sleeping. LOL! On Sunday, I'm going to drive to my parents' house and visit them for a week or so. However, my break there won't be all fun. I have to prepare for my class that starts in a couple of weeks.

[Colonial Warrior]

Why sho nuff, kind Lady.

I was brought up to believe in the right things and to always be a gentleman. This means I do the following:

Open doors.
Carry heavy things.
Mean it. My word is my bond.
Make a living.
Live your beliefs.
Abolish government. Smaller is better.
Do unto others.
Smile.
Be responsible.
Expect resistance.

Thanks, Victoria.
