OLD RECLINER ~ NEW RECLINER

As you can see BETTY likes both recliners.Good thing as she will be using the new one a lot.I have yet to decide if I keep the old one or not.As I mentioned in the post before MY ITALIAN wants to be able to hold my hand while we watch television at night.I call this OLD PEOPLE FURNITURE and we fit the description now perfectly!

Roses in my garden that have a slight fragrance and the name escapes me now.

Over 30 years old.

I did learn the original came from ENGLAND and that made me very HAPPY!

We will never know the name unless I stumble across the notebook I wrote it in!

When your girlfriend goes to ITALY and sends you this!

Your face lights up!

DID YOU KNOW IN ITALY BEING CALLED A CONTESSSA IS NOT A COMPLIMENT?

( I think it means close to our B~T~CH word!)

For me I had NO idea when years ago I decided to have that be my CALL NAME so no one in the internet would know who I was.

As you can see that worked REALLY WELL!

FOR Mother’s Day WE WENT TO A BARN FULL OF ANTIQUES.

I HAD NOT BEEN THERE IN TEN YEARS MAYBE MORE.

YES, THATS MY SON WITH THE LONG, CURLY, THICK HAIR!

HE DROVE THE DISTANCE AND TOOK ME TO MC DONALDS FOR LUNCH!

DRIVE THROUGH.

MY REQUEST!

THE REST OF THE CAR HAD FRESH HOMEMADE BREAD, PROSCIUTTO CRUDO AND CHEESE.

I AM CONSTANTLY TOLD I AM DIFFERENT!

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS LUNCH I AM!

WE THEN MISSED AN EXIT SO WITH HIS TRUCK AND DRIVING SKILLS HE SAYS IN FULL CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILST HOLDING THE CUPS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE.

“HOLD ON MOTHER!!”

AS WE WENT OVER THE CURB THROUGH THE DOWNHILL GRADE OF DIRT TO MEET UP WITH THE MISSED ROAD!

I AM A SCAREDY CAT BY NATURE SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY HORROR!

A VERY FRAGRANT RHODODENDRON.NAME HAS LEFT ME……………..

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

I COULD REMEMBER EVERYTHING ONCE UPON A TIME!

I asked this question today on Instagram………….WHY?

Why do you look at other peoples photos in ONE WORD?

We use to be a generation of “NO NO PHOTOS!”

Do you remember that?

We were shy and timid!

Interesting how one device has changed the mindset of todays society.

I recently made a purchase overseas.

BEFORE I GET TO THAT TALE THE FLOORS WERE DONE BY MY ITALIAN!

EACH ROOM HAS A DIFFERENT PATTERN……..

In order to facilitate the process I called my VISA bank first to give them a HEADS UP!

Name of shop.Person’s name and amount!

Well that was a complete waste of time!

After being transferred to THREE different people and a note left on my account that this transaction would be happening it FAILED.

Day TWO same problem as I thought even though they said I could have the PURCHASE put through immediately;I thought lets wait until tomorrow!THAT WAS MY GUT TALKING TO ME!

The lady on the other end asked me some strange questions even using a different name then who we are.Instead of using THE ITALIANS NAME she used DOUGLAS!

That sent me through the ROOF!

Well, come to find out it was a TRICK QUESTION FROM THE BANK MAKING CERTAIN I WAS WHO I SAID WE WERE.She told me to wait THREE MINUTES before contacting EUROPE to say TRY TRY AGAIN!I waited TWENTY MINUTES as those computers servers have a mind of their OWN!Coffee breaks morning, noon and night these computers in a world full of TECHNOLOGY!

I am ready to go back to the Phone on the wall and A REAL PERSON who you can HEAR CLEARLY and get BUSINESS DONE.

IT WAS SO EASY BACK IN THE DAY…………………SO EASY!

This generation has NO IDEA what they missed out on!

BE WELL……..I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU BELOW KEEP SCROLLING DOWN!

The roses have started to OPEN………….

IT’s ABOUT TIME THAT SUN CAME OUT AND SHARES A BIT OF JOY!
