I Pick Up Stray Men

I like to pick up stray men.
Yep, every time I see one, I take them home with me.
My latest has a reputation as a real mover.  He really gets around …. if ya know what I mean!

I’ve had plenty of experience handling [...]

A Rainy Ride

I’ve Been Hijacked, Bushwhacked and Held Hostage

ARRGGhh!
I’ve been hijacked, bushwhacked and held hostage by my computer for the past FIVE days!  It’s been painful, miserable, and absolutely awful without my Mac-appendage.
But Baby, I’m BACK!

Not a Total Loss

My premature arrival at the Roundtop Antiques Week show was not a total loss.
As I said in my last post, we had a great meal at Royer’s Roundtop Cafe and we did manage to uncover a few goodies.  Because we were so early we got first picks, so I’ll share the booty:

We culled out [...]

In the Beginning…

my desk

l
After much thought and procrastination, I am finally putting pen to paper… no, I’m actually putting finger tips to keyboard but regardless, I am writing my first blog post.
I realize I’m late to the self-publishing party, but my hesitation stems from the challenge to creatively put thoughts into words. Usually I’m artistically [...]
