Geeeesh, I forgot to put anything about work in there.....Don't think about it much anymore! After 20 years as a corporate housewife who dabbled in the antiques business, I was a handknit designer in New York, primarily for Coats & Clark; then I went into the sailing yacht industry in many capacities and worked all the east coast boat shows; met husband #2 and went into the wholesale cut diamond business which was a LOT of glittery fun; wound up in Vermont where we owned our own marketing/advertising/public relations agency for many years; went to work for the State of Vermont Employment & Training Department doing job hunting skills workshops for clients as well as public relations duties which included a daily morning radio show (my favorite job!). Jill of all trades, master of none, and thoroughly enjoying retirement.
Ah, the persistance of the Irish: that's why this Irish lady has her Yorkie! And her Frenchman has any tool he wants from Home Depot (HIS toy store!). Don and Patrick will have the most up-to-date, fancy Casitas the world has ever seen! They are competing, I think, to see who can add the latest greatest modifactions! All to our comfort and benefit, of course. Bettye, but the time they get through, you can put a "Holiday Inn" sign on yours!
It was Patrick, online before the Florida Rally, who brought up something about signs of being "trailer trash" and I came right back with the fact that I would represent the State of Maine well with lobster lights on my awning and a flamingo, of course in my "yard." When we drove into the campground and got out of the car, this big redheaded guy hollered "Where's the flamingo?" and I got it right out and went over to meet Patrick! During the rally, we passed the flamingo around to each of the 27 Casitas there and the person who finally wound up with it is going to bring it to the rally next year. Ya gotta have a flamingo near yer trailer in Florida, right?
And I think you ought to put the peanut butter pie recipe in the Off Topic file right here on YorkieTalk, Bettye......
Hugs and hoots! (Did you know that the black bears in Vermont HOOT????)
