Throw Back Thursday

I am having one of those days when I feel very nostalgic.

I am blaming it all on Tina from Cherry Hill Cottage.  She

posted the Bee Gee's You Should Be Dancing on her 

Facebook wall and I was transported back to another place

and time.  

Does that happen to you?  I am sure I am not alone.

I think about other places and other days.  I think of friends who

have somehow slipped away from my radar because I have

always had wanderlust and have lived everywhere.  I have 

old friends who have told me that they used up whole pages of

address books because I moved around so often.

A BFF of mine just slipped off my radar.  I have tried to find

her via the internet but to no avail.  Her name was Denise

McGrath and she was from Belfast Northern Ireland.  We 

were both living in the Middle East and we were inseparable.

Denise moved to London, and I went back to the states.  We

saw each other in London when I went over for a visit one

summer and we picked our friendship right back up where

we left off.  After my trip to England was over and I went

back home we stayed in touch via long distance calls.  But

then my townhouse was hit by lightning and everything went

up in smoke including Denise's phone number and address.

I had to stay at a friend's house until I got settled once again

and by then I had a new number and address so I know she 

could not find me either.  She was engaged and planning to

be married so I know her name changed but to what???

Could not remember her fiancee's name and all I did 

remember was that he was a barrister and that Denise had

rented a charming cottage in Henley-on-Thames.  I am sure

she is long gone from that cottage.

So Denise ~ if by any chance you ever read this your old

pal Suzy would love to hear from you!

I hope I have not bored y'all too much.  When I get in one

of these nostalgic moods I can just go on and on.  I 

inherited that trait from my grandmother.  She just loved

talking about good times from the past.  

Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.  I am going back to painting

furniture in Mom's room.  I am getting really excited about the

progress and am so anxious to show you what I have been

up to.

Bentley ~ don't sniff that paint can too closely or you

will get Provence Blue on your nose!

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
