And when I saw the anemic replacement with the fairy like guy (I think he was Pan) it made me even sadder. Now, I don't even see that one since cell phones (you say mobiles!) have made them obselete.<br />We even have a red phonebox in our little town of Conyers! I will have to take a photo of it, look for it one of my posts!<br />(And I saw some of the art in Tracey's post from Breathing English Air!)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-37332365940977870222012-07-10T06:55:20.495-04:002012-07-10T06:55:20.495-04:00Dear Beth,

Hope you like reading it and you will be amazed at the man who actually did the carving!<br />John and his brother, oh my, I can imagine they must be quite a pair together! <br />So many places there are struggling with the rain and you have had hardly any! That is the same way in this country. Say hello to John and his brother for me and hope the sun shines for them more and more!<br />Hope you will enjoy the upcoming Olympics! Sorry that Andy Murray lost. :-(Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-80249200557529829952012-07-09T13:45:57.519-04:002012-07-09T13:45:57.519-04:00Hi Kay,

We have Take-Out about every 2 months or so. More often would not be a good idea - the waist line is expanding as it is.<br /><br />Scriptor was at our house this afternoon, together with his brother. He has left the book on Stone Mountain for me to read. How nice - I shall enjoy that. It was lovely to see him again and to know that he is up here for some time before Jo comes up to collect him.<br /><br />After nine weeks without rain we have been grateful for a couple of showery days and now the sun has come out again. In honour of John's visit maybe.<br /><br />Have a Happy Day PatSpesh 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044378302911602273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-29472688535219520192012-07-09T07:17:28.154-04:002012-07-09T07:17:28.154-04:00Dear Farida,
