I still think I'd like a late '60s... possibly with a V-tec. Just thinking though.

What state did you buy from? What history do you know?

MINIOLA, Well, I did state that I missed a few(30 pgs), so it must have been among those . Oh, Nice "mane"! Wow.. that had to have taken you 45mins each morning to spray aerosol that mass 'o hair! What you gals will do, well... just shows dedication!

Thank you for appreciating "the craft"!

And the feet... well THOSE feet were follow through on a threat to show more. Someone was giving us a hard time about posting pics... think it might have been Gem. MY feet were covered with cute little Doc Marten's though... nothing like "bedroom feet". You know... I ALMOST took a pic of my husband's yucky feet with a nail polish bottle. THAT would have been horrific and hilarious at the same time. SO ugly that it would be hard to look away.

And FYI- I DON'T have f'ugly feet... they are WELL maintained... but I still won't post them here.

Hey Freebies!

I just came in for a break from the heat. Been out working on the deck I'm putting on the back of the house.

GI - I see you live up in NE Tennessee. I'm down in the Tullahoma area about 8 miles from Lynchburg.

If you still have Pooper and have the time I'm hosting a MINI run on Sept. 19th. Here's a link to the posting for it.

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mini-run.html

I know the title says Aug. 29th, but I had to change dates due to some personal scheduling.

Hope you can make it.

OK, I'll try very hard to do King of Prussia on Thurs afternoon. I will be coming from Downtown as we're going to do Independence Square that day- And I'll be with my cousins, in the morning, who are slow as molasses in January... In fact, we tease them about how long it takes them to leave somewhere (i.e., they start leaving about 10 minutes after arriving somewhere)...

I'll pm you both my cell number. and Congrats GEM!! NO CUJO

Actually GI Joe,
We're going to leave Philly and head to Charlotte NC to visit old friends (she'll kill me if she knows I called her OLD, giggle). Then heading thru Asheville and Knoxville on our way back to Nashvegas... I think I'm going to try and meet Lady G for coffee on the way thru Asheville, and maybe the same wiht you in Knoxvegas? I do have to keep the pedal to the metal tho as it's an 8 hr drive and we gotta get back - we've been gone soooooo long...

Ola, I heard from Hal. He's working on a middle tn mini drive and dropped me a pm...

I'm gonna check in on X's fb page and give her a talking to... but first, I ahve to solve the newest family crisis between my mom and the kids. <sigh>

Hia Freebs. I'm doing mostly ok, but stomach virus stuff really sucks. I've had it since Wednesday night, and have been more or less subsisting on Saltines and Coke - and I haven't had Coke in almost TWO YEARS!!! It's been bad. Last night cousin and I got desperate (hubby was late coming home again and didn't think to go to the grocery store) and we did pizza....which DOes NOTTTT work on yucky tummies. TOday I felt a little better, but queasy, but felt obliged to go out with cousin since she'll be moving away soon. I thought I could hack it. Tonight we tried real food at a restaurant, and it's very evident I'm not over the sickness. I feel like and have LOOKED more like the past few days. But I really appreciated the virtual gingerale and blankie 'Ola!!! I missed you guys.

D is now "Mr. Alaska!" I LIKE it!! How's the prettier half doing, Darren? Where is she these days?

Gem and Cab - i HAVE been confirmed to be up in Philly 31 AUG - 2 Sep! one of those days I have to do dinner with two of my cousins living near there, but I'm yours for one of the other nights! Just lemme know!

Ok,...enough for now. Gotta go do couch things for a bit longer.

I did not forget... I've had a heck of a time these last couple months that are summed up in these three posts that I put up on my blog.

http://randomgemini.com/2009/08/road-trip-hell/

http://randomgemini.com/2009/08/muge...puppy-monster/

That's pretty much the long and short of it.

I'm still here Gem!! Just not much to contribute. We've not been too busy over here, though there are tons of projects that we need to work on, we find other things to do instead!!??

Hubby prepped the Lawn Equipment yesterday and did some yard clean-up while I gave Molly an Interior Detail.

We needed some new sheets for our bed, so we went to JC Penney's last night, got some Chris Madden 600ct Hotel Sheets...L@VE them!! I also got a new pillow with a Memory Foam Insert...I've not been sleeping well, so Hubby let me get a more comfy pillow.

I found the Dogs this morning with their noses in the Garden, they got the "what for"!! All I could see of Sadie was her hind end, she was feet first into the Raised Bed, up to her front shoulders!!

Time to feed the Dogs, make some Coffee...Have a Great Day Freebies!!

CAB- here is the info on Pooper- http://www.minimania.com/web/id/8642...ale_Detail.cfm

Spent 6 hrs and 230 miles with Pooper last night. 3 hr drive up To cumberland ap Falls, KY, then 1 hr back on I-75!! WOW, the E.TN twisty backroads are Awesome in a Mini!!! Had about 9 cars from our local club Smokey Mountain Minis(although 3 were Non Mini/MINI).. What a good run. Attempted to see the Moonbow at the falls, but it was a wee bit cloudy. I gotta go fillup today before our dinner/ice cream run this Eve!! 7 gals of Spirited driving!!!

GIJOE- I like the ad,,, but here is where my ADD comes into play,, forget about the mini for sale!! Tell me about your awesome home! Assuming that the picture was taken in your own driveway,,,,, looks like a very nice house!

Yup!! I am able to do Thursday afternoon, K of P!!
My last client will be the one scheduled for 1 pm, so I can be ready to drive up to K of P by 3 pm,, can that work? If I am heading out at 3, I can be up there by 3:20-3:30 at the latest.

Let me know if I need to tweak this a smidge......

Jo,, be sure a snap a picture of CUJO before you leave,,,LOL you gotta hang that in your new office,, just in case you have a bad day and it will help you appreciate the new place...

When I was O. Manager for an dental office in Ohio- it was a decent work place but once in a while the drama and the Dr. could be so horrible that I would feel nauseous at times,, so I brought in a picture of my Love,,, Show Off Sonny Dee- 16.3 hands red roan overo QH paint-- that helped me remember why I worked- to have fun hobbies....and it actually helped!

I'll try to find some pics and scan them tonight. I hated getting my pic taken (and I still do), so this may prove to be a bit difficult.

Thanks for the comments everyone! You're making me blush!

Of course it was taken in my driveway! I'm no poser, that finds a nice house and takes pics! It's either here, or down at the lake!!
We've been here for 3.5 yrs, and done a LOT to it in that time. Landscaping was this spring, and Boy did it make a difference! It was a "fixer upper" in a Pretty nice subdivision, out in the country. The condition it was in, played into our hand for a price we could afford! Now we reap the benefits of some manual labor!

Random, i say this with tears streaming down my face and looking at my precious yellow lab laying at my feet, Please accept my condolences! You and I have had a few talks about our labs and I knew Riley was up in age but that must have been the hardest thing in life for you to go through! I know it would be for me. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry. And know Riley is running and playing in flower feilds again!

I want to tell you your new little one is adorable and I will finish reading about him when I can get through the tears of Riley, so if you don't mind i need to read that one later.

Yes I am an animal lover and I knew i will be lost without my "baby" I don't even want to think about it.
Thanks for coming back and sharing this with us! It may never be easy but you have some great memories of him!

TN and Cab- this sounds like it's coming to a plan. TN I can be in K of P by 1:30 if you are going to be there earlier then 3:30, so if you want to meet with me until Cab can make it -but I will have to scoot out of there by at least 4:30 to get to school in time!

Cab I did take a cell phone photo of Cujo when i first started, will check if it is still on my phone, if not will try to get another. for some reason owners get touchy about taking a photo of Cujo in the office... wonder why!
I can't wait for this 3 days to be over with!!!!
TN what time is good for you?
