AHOY

A watercolor of my boys when they were
six and four!  Now, ten and eight.

Soon to be wallpaper in the boy's bathroom!
What do you think?

One of my greatest loves EVER!

ALSO LOVED THIS! HEAVEN IN A BOWL.

Note to self:  Just realized...Where in the heck is that ocra picture and
wire sculpture octapus!  Redid this bathroom a year ago.
Both pieces would be awesome in the bathroom upstairs.

Today. We sail away to Tampa Bay.  Don't I wish! Life would be EPIC then.  Speaking of EPIC, if I don't shave my legs soon... Yikes.  Gorilla in the Mist.   At least my hair is light, but that still doesn't help the overall effect- PASTY, WHITE, DRY, KNEES SLOWLY FALLING and NOT GOOD.   I need to be packing and picking up the house, so that when we come home  SUNDAY the house is not a complete disaster.  We are driving though to Tampa for some serious pirate festivities.  I can't wait!  I am taking some  favorite cheese from my favorite folks to some more favorite folks, our hostesses for the weekend. I am still dreaming about  here from  last weekend, and I can not wait to make this next week! Rustic and amazing!  What are your plans? I'm going to squeeze my family extra hard and be thankful! Have a great one, Nan

I love a good word and a good interior.

I love a good word. I have a dictionary, by my computer that I use all the time. Yes, I know I can look it up online and sometimes, I do... I just love to look up words and the act itself is so satisfying.  I also love a good interior.  I do. I do.  So here is the word- Juxtaposition,  and here is the Interior. LOVE. LOVE.

Hello folks.  Sorry it has been a day or two... A sign of a bad blogger is when she(me) signs "in", and it takes three tries.  oops!  To my sad defense, I do manage two blogs and I am not savvy enough to "manage" under one account.   Anyway,  HAPPY HAPPY to YOU!  What does 2011 hold for you?  Life is so exciting isn't it?!  XO, Nan

I will not be doing this.  Can you even imagine?

It makes me want to cuss like a sailor just looking at this

picture! Those people are FN crazy!

Now this is my idea of CRAZY.  CRAZY FUN!  After years of looking at it, I booked it yesterday! Happy New Year in July to ME and my family.

One tide pool large enough to swim in (about the size of THREE, not one, not two, BUT THREE Olympic pools at High Tide)!  Did I mention

Lobster and Buttah! I certainly have before.

This is more my speed.  I think I will ask HIMSELF for this for

my birthday... January 20th.

A cute Tallahassee customer was in yesterday, and said

she had seen a picture of our Christmas display on a blog!

LOVE THAT. Can I tell you how many times I straightened

those books?  Oh well.

I always LOVE dancing with my neighbor, Heeth.  He is single ladies.

He can make you look like you know what you are doing

on the dance floor.  He also makes dancing so  much fun, you don't care!

This dress last night was a huge success!  Someone even told me I was

delicious!  I will definitely be on this site in the New Year.

HAPPY! HAPPY!
