I mean come on…who hasn’t dreamed of picking up and moving to a loft in NYC with beautiful family in tow… like Jenny did?


Can’t be just me. right? right?


Anyway….Oy. I think I kinda hate seeing my rooms in “print” …blog print. you get it right?


Do other folks 185 lb Great Danes mush down their furniture just so? No? thought so.


Thanks Jenny in the hood.


You are good. Jenny in the hood.


ok. done.

It’s lazy. We have had turkey in many forms. Soup tonight.



The birds are singing outside…the windows are wide open…the sun is rising

While the breezes blow.

and two of four of my favorite kidlets…how does the time fly?



Enjoy the last of your thanksgiving weekend.


May warm breezes blow for you.

Morbidly lacking things to blog about…

Ooooh but I do need to tell you about a great book I just read…Funny and poignant,



literarily articulate and warmly down to earth.



Fellow blogger Liz Owen from Mabel’s house wrote her Memoir of learning to love what you have…



along the way seeking just a tad of revenge on her literary heroes…



If you own a house…have had projects implode before your very eyes…and share space with a fur friend…



bookblog



read it…you’ll love it



find it here.



I am also re-reading Anne Morrow Lindberg’s ‘A Gift From The Sea’



and, yes…I use a magnifying glass to read…sometimes



Don’t cha love this one?

Give you a dollar if you can inspire me...

The reality is…

I don’t style. I plunk.


and as far as careers for plunker’s….Nill.


IMG_0627


Hell…I don’t even pick up most of the time.


IMG_0625


so when I want to take a pic of a whole room….It is often hard. And not so pretty


IMG_0587-1


Not to mention…this is the leftover room. Once dining room. Once library. Now office/junk collector room.


you have one. no?


IMG_0598


The down loveseat never sold (for 35 clams!) at our garage sale...


so I slip covered it in linen…and threw it in the “room”


The arms have other material thrown on them ‘cause the big black dog sneaks up there…and yes…slobbers.


This is my reality. styled. HA!



IMG_0621







This is a rug I pulled in from the kitchen….It’ll go back.


It is embarrassed being seen in this shot.


gulp.


Plunking. Not such a good thing.
