Sassy Silver Sisters

When I'm an old lady © 1991 Joanne Bailey Baxter When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my kids, And make their life happy and filled with such fun. I want to pay back all the joy they've provided. Returning each deed! Oh, they'll be so excited! When I'm an old lady and live with my kids I'll write on the wall with reds, whites, and blues, And I'll bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes. I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out. I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they'll shout! When I'm an old lady and live with my kids When they're on the phone and just out of reach, I'll get into things like sugar and bleach. Oh, they'll snap their fingers and then shake their head, and when that is done I'll hide under the bed. When I'm an old lady and live with my kids When they cook dinner and call me to meals, I'll not eat my green beans or salads congealed. I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table, And

The Sassy Silver Sisters went on our yearly road trip and on the way to Roanoke we decided to stop and visit Walton's Mountain. Go to Schuyler, Virginia, to tour the actual home place that inspired the beloved television series. First is the store -- soooo cool -- lots of autographed books! The clerk was actually a relative of Earl Hamner and knew a lot of real information about how his family was portrayed in the Walton's TV show.   I bought a Goodnight John Boy coffee mug !!                                                                     Circa 1942 The Walton's Mountain Country Store B and B was known as Walker’s Store back in thee old days because it was operated by Willie Walker, the son of Schuyler Walker  head of one of the earliest families to settle in the area who gave it the name of Schuyler. For many years the store was vacant and seeking escape from that multitude of brothers and sisters as a teenager I used to hideout there for

Our annual sisters' weekend has come and gone. It really wasn't long enough but we all had to get back to work and our homes. We decided to go to Roanoke because one of us, Cathy, HAD to go to Black Dog Salvage. If you aren't familiar with them, they have a TV show on the DIY network. More to come on that visit, STAY TUNED. My job was to review the Roanoke Hotel and Conference Center . Upon entering the parking lot, all I could say was WOW!! What a majestic building. Just look at it! We were greeted by a gracious young lady at the front desk who checked us in and treated us to the delicious chocolate chip cookies DoubleTree is famous for. We also received a coffee mug featuring the Black Dog Salvage for signing up for the tour, of course, Cathy took the mug ;) Our room was nice with 2 double beds, flat-screen TV, a desk , a coffee bar, and FREE Wi-Fi. Our room had a view of the front entrance where we witnessed, one evening, a young couple receiving their send off
