They are the ones who dirve too fast for the conditions, not allowing enough time to brake, and end up everywhere they shouldn't be when there is snow. :) I'd much rather people drove slowly, and thought about what they were doing.<BR/>:)Using up the words....https://www.blogger.com/profile/15459047779303418206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738518.post-1133818028308486382005-12-06T10:27:00.000+13:002005-12-06T10:27:00.000+13:00Mr Ed ~ Very small world.

I'm guessing it's more like 4 these days, and in New Zealand, could be down to 2 quite easily. :)<BR/><BR/>Snaggle ~ All in all, it was a blessing that he died when he did. My Grandmother had died 6 months eariler, and he missed her an awful lot. And he was leaving to go on a cruise around Alaska a couple of weeks later... so better that he got so sick, so quickly and not while he was traveling around. Funny that I should miss out on both of my grandfather's funerals though. I guess appropriate too though - I was much closer to my grandmothers, and don't think I would have gotten over that one so easily.<BR/><BR/>Neo ~ Yeah.... I know he's laughing at me while I amble along with my garden, and talk to my tomatos. He would be super proud... the chutney's I'll be making will be all because of the huge influence he had over me. :) I love the legacy that all my grandparents have left. Pretty awesome.Using up the words....https://www.blogger.com/profile/15459047779303418206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738518.post-1133809515206710962005-12-06T08:05:00.000+13:002005-12-06T08:05:00.000+13:00UUTW -I'm sure he sees you now and is watching ove...<B>UUTW -</B>I'm sure he sees you now and is watching over you and protecting you.

And then when you said Kentucky, I almost knew it had to be Lexington, due to the many horse farms around there. Small world at times. ecmreddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866616193923580617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738518.post-1133727757274228552005-12-05T09:22:00.000+13:002005-12-05T09:22:00.000+13:00Mr Ed ~ I lived just outside of Lexington.

Was there for 18 months, then out between Paris and Winchester for a year, though that was more of a nanny stint, and got quite messy. Rather sad days.<BR/>Loved Kentucky though... the humidity was insane, but loved the evenings... sitting outside watching the lightening bugs dance around. It was amazing. :) I had a few proposals - alas, none of them from my prince. <BR/>Still have several friends there, that I'm looking forward to catching up with sometime soon.Using up the words....https://www.blogger.com/profile/15459047779303418206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738518.post-1133703480628243132005-12-05T02:38:00.000+13:002005-12-05T02:38:00.000+13:00The flowers in the pic are awesome.

Enjoyed reading of your adventures and noted that you lived in Kentucky for a time.<BR/><BR/>Years ago (1963) I also lived and worked there for about 6 months. The city of my residence was Lexington and I stayed in a boarding house on Rodes Ave. This was near the campus of UK and many of the students lived all around.<BR/><BR/>All this was just before my favorite lady became my favorite wife. ecmreddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06866616193923580617noreply@blogger.com
