MEETING A BLOGGER: JAMIE DAWN!!!

Today was such a fun day. I talked with Jamie Dawn on the phone last night and we made our plans for today. She, her Dad, her brother, and her son have been taking in the "World's Longest Yard Sale, the Hwy. 127 Corridor Sale." I'm not sure where they started at but this sale starts in Gadsden, AL and goes to Covington, KY; so 450 miles of yard sales. The traffic is bad and motels are full. There are so many people set up beside the roads and if you happen to glance off the road and then look back the traffic in front of you may have stopped still, so you really have to be careful when driving on this route.

We planned to meet at Jones' Restaurant in Albany, KY, which is on Hwy. 127 and about an hour from me. I saw this lovely lush huge field of soybeans on the way. Isn't it pretty?











Then I saw this.....was it Jamie Dawn???? Oh, no it wasn't! Just an ape on a bicycle!!















I must tell you that they are wonderful folks and Jamie Dawn is such a delightful person!! I could go on and on about Jamie Dawn and her wonderful family, but you know....she'll probably read this and I sure don't want her getting the big head and all, so I'll try and not brag on her too much. I'm sure you all understand!! Her father, her brother, and her son were all so nice too. Just fine, fine folks!!








Last week Jamie Dawn was out in CA where she visited another blogger Naomi. Naomi sent a gift to me by way of Jamie Dawn. Below you see me holding the two photos that Naomi sent me. Aren't they lovely?? I love them Naomi and I will frame them and put them up so I can see them daily!! Naomi takes wonderful photographs and is such a sweet person!! I would love to meet her too!! Thank you Naomi!!!

Jamie and her family were having such a fun trip. They had bought hats to protect their heads from the heat! Certainly a good idea considering that it has been very hot and humid. Here is Jamie Dawn, her Dad, and her brother Jason showing off their head apparel. Looking great, aren't they?















I had gotten Jamie Dawn a little package of goodies that came from our neck of the woods, so to speak. One of the things I got her was this nice sized wooden mallet. Here she is demonstrating how to use it if need be!!

Now you can see it better! It is a "Hillbilly Man Tamer." Well, if those guys get out of hand on the way home I know that JD can give them an attitude adjustment real quick!! heehee!

Her husband may not appreciate it though when she gets home with it! That was just an item I saw when I stopped at this one store on my way over there and decided to buy it and add it to her goodie bag!

I did tell a little fib to Jamie Dawn though. I told her that Cliff had instructed me to buy her a jar of mayonnaise and give to her but that I had forgotten it!! Jamie Dawn thinks mayonnaise is very hitonious! So Cliff, sorry about that (not really) but I was trying to get you in trouble and I may have!! He didn't really tell me to do that JD, all he said was to slather your sandwich with mayo since you liked it so much!!

So it was a super day and I'm so very glad I got to meet Jamie Dawn. She is funny and delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with her, her son, Dad, and her brother. Fine, delightful, great folks!! Thanks Jamie Dawn for getting in touch with me so that we could get to meet!!
