Did you find that "Doorman" as offensive as I did? Geesh! He REALLY got on my bad side the very first day I lived there. Made me wish I hadn't purchased the place. :shock:

I never was much on the shock treatments, but I did enjoy the massage therapy. Such fun, such memories. I would just runnnn... All the mansion employees that wore white would follow me to my special corner of the gardens. Once there, they would just rolllll me about and stretch my arms and legs for me. Afterwards, they would carry me back into the mansion (by then I was far too relaxed to walk on my own) and let me lay down on that really soft bed with the straps. You know, the ones that keep your arms stretched out nicely so you don't get those dreaded arm cramps.
Ah yes. I so loved that place. Never found such wonderful employees again after leaving there.
Yes, as I search my memory, I do believe I remember you.

Our 2 cats are kind of wild and live in the shop and run/hunt outside. They will let you pet but not pick them up. They sure have taken care of the gophers this year-Bless Them!
We have 29 acres just inside the boundery of "the boonies". Less than 5 miles to the nearest chocolate :wink: but 15+/- miles away from LQS :cry: Love it here and don't plan to ever live "in town" again! :lol:
My prince is out on a rented back hoe diging holes to plant rhodies so I can have more privacy in my yard. Good thing we have 29 acres for him to play on. A boy with his toy! Like a giant Tonka truck. He is having fun and it is OK because he is well away from power, phone and water lines!

At any rate, the gardens surrounding the home were plush. The beautiful foliage provided such cooling shade. It was while I was laying in the shade there that the idea crossed my mind. Suddenly, I knew I should explore what was on the other side of that very large, wrought iron gate.
Once outside the gate, I was on a great adventure. Eventually, I met and married Prince Charming. (Okay, so it WASN'T Prince Charming, but back then I believed what other people told me!)
For many years, we traveled a lot, always staying one step ahead of the paparazzi. (That is what they call those annoying guys in the white coats that carry nets, isn't it?)
For the past few years, we've found peace and quiet here in the boonies. We haven't seen even one of those paparazzi since living here. Things calmed down so much we've taken up quilting just to pass the time.
We have a few furry critters. Not quite sure as to the count anymore. Last time we checked, it was 30 deer, 1 fox, 23 turkeys, 2 Yorkies, and 2 cats. (Not sure where that second cat came from, but we think the paparazzi might have sent it in to spy on us. We're still trying to locate the camera on the cat.) That's all there is about us. We're boring.

I've only been quilting for about 2 years, but am totally hooked. I piece the tops, then my husband quilts them on our quilter/frame.
Sorry to be so rushed, but I just HAVE to go look at pictures. There's really nothing else about me of any interest anyway! :D
