The term shotgun came when someone declared that if he shot through the front door, the bullet would go through all the rooms and out the backdoor.marciamayohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185069576683872041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-13584606766386788262012-09-19T04:47:55.369-04:002012-09-19T04:47:55.369-04:00This is wonderful, you are back!

Care to explain?<br /><br />Happy retirement! You know, you'll find you suddenly have so much to do that you'll begin to wonder how you managed to fit in work of the paid variety as well.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-2316793022013414692012-09-17T23:41:26.243-04:002012-09-17T23:41:26.243-04:00What a delightful visit!

Such places should not be gentrified.

I had some eye problems in the spring that necessitated surgery, nothing like your experience but enough to make me wonder if I was doing enough of what I want with what time I have left. Thanks so much for your kind words (Celia and Cile, you too!).

Was retirement or the history book the next shiny thing? Okay, so I'm nosy. <br /><br />I was so happy joining you on the exploration of past and present of those 2 Atlanta area mill towns. But I have been thinking about you and missing your sense of humor and history. Although vicariously enjoying the skateboard-Pabst combo, I want more. <br /><br />The reality is, however, that retirement time should be your time to do exactly what YOU want to do if at all possible. Just know you have a fan lurking, but absolutely not stalking.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-81285508720375061002012-09-12T14:27:01.140-04:002012-09-12T14:27:01.140-04:00I find it amazing what you find around you, Marcia...I find it amazing what you find around you, Marcia, and how interesting you can make history! cilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597156735785512237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860426776748592870.post-88934580357667161842012-09-12T13:36:30.338-04:002012-09-12T13:36:30.338-04:00Fascinating Marcia, these little places hold a lot...Fascinating Marcia, these little places hold a lot of stories.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485118642482033233noreply@blogger.com
