Award & an ER Visit
Well, I’ve been out of commission since late yesterday afternoon with a virus and I just spent the morning in the ER hooked up to an IV. I’m doing better, but, for the first time in years, I am going to spend the day in bed. Unfortunately, we were getting the keys to our new […]

Lovely Little Lamp
I saw this lamp at my neighbor’s yard sale for $3.00 and had to buy it. I just loved the shape of it and the flower-like shade. (As a side note, I bought an absurd amount of stuff at their yard sale. I bought ironstone platters, 2 ironstone wash sets, pocket watches, crates, cheese crocks, […]
