~W. VA. Reply From Dixie-'land' To My Post~

** This apropo picture is from our W. Va. trip (Dixie-'land' GOTCHA) in yesterday's post ... today Dixie canned 34 qts. of tomato juice ... so this is Dixie's reply that she wanted posted ... here ya go, Dixie ** ( ...now we shall see who has a tear in their eyes........love ya...Dix)

(No, this isn't her home, trust me! but it was one of many more you will see as we travelled, it tickled me with those little 'maters all lined up ... where else would you see this.)

Hey Marydon: Remember me? I'm Dixie (wvrags~W. VA.) from Wild Wonderful West Virginia.

This is for you love ~

The red roses have opened completely and the edges have started to turn and wilt.........."But not our friendship"

The daisies have lost some petals...."But not our caring"

The carnations are standing tall on their own with wonderful color "with love to a special someone that went out of her way to .....make my day"

The beautiful rose bow will be saved for a special memory of Marydon Ford

May our friendship grow more and more each day. You can call our home...yours.....anytime you need a place to lay your weary head.

~I LIFT A GLASS OF WINE AS A TOAST TO YOU AND YOURS~

LOVE TO YOU AND HAROLD............Dixie

PS Oh, that is just 'happy liquid' in my eyes ... you are TOO much, Dixie. TY for the lovely words, I know they are from your heart to mine ... love you, too. Hugs, Marydon

  3. What a beautiful note from Dixie. You touched her very deeply Marydon.
    Now for those tomatoes. Do you know tempting it would be to use those as target practice? Nothing dangerous, maybe just some rocks, but I guess that would dangerous too. I just can't stand it though I need to knock them down with something! LOL
    Hugs to you and Dixie, and Harold too :-)

  10. WONDERFUL story about you and Dixie and love her reply to it....very sweet. I wish I had some of those tomatoes as I love tomato sandwiches (and we had to get rid of our big tomato plants as they go that plant fungus this year. *sigh*)
