Tis The Season, Bloggers....

I hear it is Happy Hour Friday at Otin's house....and it is at my house too! ...so I am putting up my tunes and sipping my Rudolph's Tipsy Spritzer...goin' blog cruisin', eating pizza...and there is not a creature stirring in this Appalachian castle but little ole me! Peace and quiet, and after a long day's work I love that.

I'm happier than a fly on doodie!

I have this love of cars. It seems all through the 70s where I grew up there were tons of souped up cars running the roads, and there wasn't a lot to do on a small town Friday or Saturday night unless you packed in your friends, or your date, and came into town and showed off your ride, order up a burger at the local James' Drive-In or at Burton's, where the waitress came to your car! It was a social gathering with people hanging out the windows, visiting back and forths between cars, sometimes there'd be a show-off race up on Henderson branch, a nice flat stretch of road! Memories of that black haired guy named R.C. and imprints of love in his black Dodge Charger with a white interior still linger in my head! w00t!

Another car of interest running around our town was (not a red) Stingray but a yellow one, owned by this cool dude, who was older than us school-aged teens, but he liked the young girls.  Probably a perv, who knows.  Who remembers the Mach-I Mustang?! What I remember about that Mach was how cool a car it was, but the driver sucked horribly! nothing is a bigger turn-off than a lousy kisser...but his car was killer!  Those were days of thunder and thrills.

and here's my driving tunes tonight; speaking of driving, nobody is going anywhere if this snow hits!

It is forecasted to be 3 to 6 inches here! woohoooo! and I went to stock up on supplies, so as to partake in a little holiday spirit! I hope you guys try this recipe, it's great. Of course I am making mine by the glass!
