WHILE WE WERE IN FLORIDA 

I e-mailed a very special friend of mine to see if we could find time to visit. We did get together  and both of us were very excited to find a day that was good for both of us.

We met on Friday in Sally's lovely home.  We shared a delicious lunch that Sally prepared. She says she doesn't cook but don't believe it.  We had pulled BBQ pork on rolls with slaw, pickles, chips and brownies for dessert. Mmmmmm it was all good.

Smiling Sally lives up to her name.  We talked and smiled like crazy because we both enjoyed our time together so very much.

Our husbands enjoyed each other's company as well. It turns out Sally's husband attended the same high school as I did.  Our classes were huge so we didn't know each other.  It is time to drag my yearbook out.

Sally's home is beautiful.  I would love to have taken photos of "everything" in her home but it would make for a very long post.  We did take a couple that I can share.

Here is just a peek of Sallys beautiful wall in her living room (I borrowed this photo from Sally's post in 2010)  She designed the beautiful Travertine marble coffeee table with a mirrored base and it is gorgeous.

 Sally and Johnny sitting on a bench in the entry way to their home.

 

Sally wore her favorite color 'blue.'  We all know Sally is a gracious hostess for 'Blue Monday.'  Well, Sally and her husband made us feel so welcome and you would have thought we had known each other for years.

 

Here we are with smiling faces.  Sally lives up to her happy smiling personality in every way.  We hated to say goodbye after a short three plus hours of visiting. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH SALLY AND JOHNNY

I'm shouting...can you hear me.

HAPPY BLUE MONDAY

Blessings and love,

Jeanne and Bill

Now that is amazing! - that you and Smiling Sally's husband went to the same school! Isn't it something how our paths cross with the some of the same people from our past - no matter how many miles each may live from another? And one things for sure, if you visited Sally you had no problem getting some blue in your pictures! :)

[Anne]

You and Sally make a smiling pair! It looks as if you had a ton of fun together! Sally's home is very lovely. Glad you had a great time. Hugs Anne

Well howdy neighbor
Long time no see
Smiling Sally Lordy be
Blue Monday let me see
Long time ago for you and me
Started to comment one two three
We became friends and forever will be.
Ha ha ha look at me : )
Ok that's enough of that. Soooo glad you're home. I've missed my morning emails. Now you're back to your busy life, lol. The garden club must have missed you terribly. Don't hurt your back bowling now.
Tomorrow I know you will be at Jane's house. She said she needed to clean her house before you got there. Had to laugh. Give her a hug from me please. I hope she's up and at em for your trip. Soon you'll be packing for that. Wow. I sure you are anxious to wear your cool boots : )
We have been dealing with getting my meds re filled. I'm totally running out. I cannot believe that doctors can do this. It's been stressing Randy out. He's been calling and calling and leaving messages. Nobody calls back. If its not resolved before Thursday noon, we will drive to the hospital and Randy's putting me in a wheelchair and parking me in front of the operating room till Dr Wai comes out. I'm NOT looking forward to any of this. Unreal. Lets hope we get a phone call from the pharmacy. Need a drug prayer if you have one of those hanging around.
Other than that, I'm doing great. A few wash boards in my back but all par for the course.
The sun was beautiful today. It's been cold, but so nice. The geese are leaving bit by bit. Did you see my video on my main fb page of the geese? So cool.
PJ and Bella were groomed on Monday. Bella looks like she's a baby. So cute. So glad I found this groomer only 20 minutes away.
Well we broke down and bought a skid of pellets today. Nice little fire going right now. So cozy.
Hope you're all unpacked now. I know it takes me a few days to unpack.
Spoke to Miss Bee yesterday. Did you see all the goodies she sent me?? Gosh I'm so lucky. She just returned from a trip to San Diego.
Julie is fine, and CC is always nice and busy. Don't you just love CC's new doo??
Time to call Wendy. They had snow already. She seems to be doing ok. Just have to keep her positive.
Ok time to have a cup of tea to make the pipes work : )
I'm glad your home. Did I say that already? Lol. Well it's true.
Not proof reading.
