There are writers that make you want their story to never end. You are
definitely one of those writers.

LMAO--you have a "peeping Georgia"--how cute...
I could really see your tales becoming a book--are you sure you're not a famous author in disguise?

Well, I just heard from my sister, Georgia
that the nice boys who live across the yard from her are always cleaning and cooking in their kitchen. She says the city one's finally learning about country living, about the secret life of geese, etc. So I told her the kids up the street have put up their Christmas lights. This year they've got a Coca-Cola bear standing next to the lighted snowman. They've got the nicest little kids, I love watching them play. What a sweet little family, enjoying their back yard on summer nights, barbecueing and bringing the TV out so they can watch the ball game. It's our way of distracting ourselves from the rheumy knees and the aches and pains and the boredom of one day just like another.

hi Joe Love! I love this story...so many little things, each funny, just
capture my attention and keep it until the end... but I don't want the story to end! It's is so typical of a litle old lady to feed your doggies bologna and cheese...but only little bites...LOL!
Also, just because you live way out in the country doesn't mean you are completely private... I know! One thing you can count on when you live in a small town/community is not having to worry about being forgetful...all your neighbors will remember...and remind you!

Great story! I love the way you have drawn Georgia, 'nice' but with a slightly sinister tinge...

Joe love, I am glad georgia is not here around me....
My kitchen is so visible, and I keep the window, no curtain, plants on it, so I can see well. Lot of times our celebrity Brad....used to stare from his parking lot......Probably he is looking how clean it is.....??

Awwwww, Justi
Thank you so much. I've been in a bit of a funk, so my stuff isn't as good as it usually is. I'm trying to write my way out of it, though.

I think there's a "Georgia" in every neighbourhood
too much time on their hands and a burning curiosity. Bad combo.

I like it when Carl struts around naked. Of course we live in Mayberry USA and nobody can see in our windows unless they are driving by.

Joe_Love,
Georgia sounds friendly enough. She does sound busy. hah-hah She doesn't miss anything I'll bet. I take it she does enjoy your company and the company of your little dogs. Nice read.

joe_love, just make sure she doesn't feed them chocolate. Nosey Neighbors are rife in the country. Your Georgia sounds just like my ex's Aunt Evva. Whenever we would go to the country to visit her, I was always amazed at what she had to tell us about everyone within five miles of her farm. Oh how she loved to pass it on and click her tongue against her front teeth at her disapproval.

Joe Love, this was fun to read, and it sounds like a friendly neighbourhood. And I never knew cheese could do that to a dog...

Well, it's your house, Fourcats (pardon our cross-talk, please, Joe),
but I can't go naked, I need support, if you know what I mean.

it's definitley not just the men blanche, i walk around naked all the time.
if there was one thing i heard in my dorm room on a regular basis it was, "fourcats, would you please put a shirt on?!"
joe - LOVED the line about the dog peeing on the broom.

Joe_Love, I am still laughing at Bel's comment about the naked man
and the woman scarred for life while seeing him as she's doing her dishes. What is it about men (gross overgeneralization here, very gross) that some seem to feel completely at ease strutting everywhere at home naked. I say this because Professor Peabody does and I sometimes wish he would not.

Your descriptions of Georgia are rich and brimming with life Joe Love
...and that busy little dog of yours - lol. Surely makes his presence known. A peeping tom-ette eh? Well, she has to have some way of gathering gossip; people don't talk as much as they used to.

At least she tells you about it! It could be worse I have a friend who live in a fairly nice suburan area of Long Island, she finally had to ask the man who moved in next door to her to please put clothes on when he checks his fridge at night because it seemed like everytime he did she was doing dishes near her kitchen window. The man made a rather crude remark and still hasn't put clothes on. She now does her dishes before dark.
