When I'm an old lady poem by 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 when they get angry, I'll run as fast as I'm able!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids
I'll sit close to the TV, through the channels I'll click,
I'll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I'll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud 'til the end of the day!
When I'm an old lady and live with my kids
And later in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
I'll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, "She's so sweet when she's sleeping!"
God Bless All Moms and Grandmas Everywhere!

On Saturday (7-18-15) of our Sassy Silver Sisters yearly vacation
we went to Black Dog Salvage.
It looks the same as you see on the TV show Salvage Dawgs .
http://www.diynetwork.com/shows/salvage-dawgs

http://www.blackdogsalvage.com/
If I could go back once a month , I would be happy !
When they salvage items from historic buildings and places you see a bit of history !
They have soooo much to look at -- it took quite a long time. The staff was smiling and very helpful in answering ALL our questions.
They also have souvenirs for you to purchase -- which I did !
Koiner Kulp Thomas --- https://www.facebook.com/KoinerThomasBDS -- Robert's big sister was inviting and took the time to have a conversation with us.
Robert Kulp ---https://www.facebook.com/RobertKulpBDS -- was gracious enough to have someone take a picture of all 3 sisters with him.
If I find anymore pictures, I will add later on .
AND ,YES -- I got a t-shirt and a mug -- love them !!

Cathy Wants To Know --- Who Remembers The Waltons??
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
We walked over to the family home of Earl Hamner.
My understanding is the home was purchased and rehabbed to it's former glory. The furnishings were replaced as well.
We walked over to the church ----
After that we headed up the road to the old school which has been converted to a museum ---
WALTON'S MOUNTAIN MUSEUM is located in the Piedmont Region foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Schuyler (Sky-ler), Virginia. Opened on October 16, 1992, this building was Schuyler's ca.1924 high & elementary school until 1955, grade school until 1991, and it is now our community center. "The Waltons" creator and John-Boy's alterego, Earl Hamner, grew up in the home across the street. WMM attracted as many as 90,000 guests in a year from all 50 states and 20 foreign countries!
We had a wonderful time going through each room !
A video was also playing every 1/2 hour or so.
I hope you can find time to visit this area ! You won't regret it !

SSS stay at Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center
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 hotel. 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 where she 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 in a Rolls Royce after their wedding. That was a nice surprise.
We were given access to the Executive Lounge for the continental breakfast and appetizers in the evening. We made our way there Friday evening and happen to be the most obnoxious people in the room. Go figure, right? You had to be there. Anyway, the concierge was an older gentlemen, Charlie, that was happy to serve us and thought we had the whole room laughing. I think he was being nice but he seemed to delight in the fact we came back to the lounge on Saturday evening. He wanted our email address so he could correspond with the SSS. He actually sent us a funny video to watch. He was awesome!! Everyone treated us like the royalty we think we are (hehe).
It was a grand hotel, here's a link for more information Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center
Cathy had T-shirts made for us. Thank you Cathy!! So here were are...
How long does it take to open a bottle of wine? Oh, about 20 minutes. I had bought a bottle of Middle Sister Wine to share on our trip. I used a corkscrew but wasn't strong enough to get it out. We eventually all tried to get that dang cork out of the bottle and succeeded, FINALLY. Sweet & Sassy like the bottle said, it was DELICIOUS! We didn't drink the whole bottle. WHAT? Yep that's right we didn't but Rhonda took the rest home, just because it has Middle Sister on the bottle she thought she should take it home.
Well, that's all I have for now. I will be reviewing, later on, the Fork in the Alley, a restaurant we had lunch. And there will be more reviews on other things we did on our trip.
Until next time!!
