We have major road problems here, too. Seeing its first European traveler in 1673, my town is a very old one, especially for the midwest. There are many one-way streets, and the River and the canal make travel even worse. I could walk to work every day, if not for that darn canal. I can see the...
Very well said.
Losing people is never easy, but it is nice having places like The Lounge. That way, you can go back, read posts, banter back and forth, and remember fondly.
With you on all of this.
I know fins serve no purpose, but to look cool. Neither does chrome, or flamboyant colors, but boy they sure make a car look good! I've owned plenty of classics, but I always liked the big-finned behemoths the best.
My dream car is a '59 Eldorado Biarritz...
They worked great for us kids, they hold a lot for good Jack and Cokes like Mom and Dad make. We were far from wealthy back then, too, and Mason Jars are cheap.
Very sadly, it's not the same around here, at all.
They are perfect for that. My cat and dog knock glasses of the night stand...
So, the wife went over to my sister's house last night for a few hours.
This morning, her and I were on the way to my parents' house, made it about 3 blocks from the house, and heard what sounded like meowing coming from somewhere. We got out to examine, and found one of my sister's kittens had...
I think the plastic ones are more fulfilling what we refer to around here as the "wannabe redneck" market. They think it's trendy to drink from Mason Jars (we did it growing up, because they were cheap and hard for us kids to break.)
I still find the glass ones at several stores, including...
Thank you for the kind words. I'm nuts about plants and on top of what I posted, have planted about 15 tiger lilies, 35 bridal wreath plants, 10 arborvitaes, and 13 rose bushes.
FF - I'm enjoying watching your project and you certainly aren't messing around! Good to see a project being done...
Did some planting around the house, last week.
I've always wanted a cluster of birches in the corner of my yard, and now I do.
Hydrangea:
Mums:
Hops:
Don't know what this was, but had to move it in order to make way for some of the others:
My dad gave me this old flintlock.
I took it home, cleaned it up, got some railroad spike wall hangers, and a powder horn for it. I think it looks nice above the TV.
I feel your pain, too, Big Man. I still have a few small painting and staining projects left, mostly trim, in and out on the house. I painted every room in this house over the past 12 months and just have had my fill for awhile lol
Not to mention I have to paint the outside of the cabin next...
