I love chairs.

LOVE LOVE LIST

I strive to give photo credits and usually write it down, but I "took" this one,

so long ago that I didn't. I just LOVE it on so many levels. Simple. Foreign-it's gotta be. Now here is a photo of a chair that I heart very much and had covered 12 years ago... I growl every time a child or cat or anyone, for that matter, goes near it. You may think I am kidding on the growling, but I am not. It is a very effective method, especially when you don't use it often. I highly recommend it. It was my grandmother's slipper chair. The Zebra chair I found locally. They had four and in retrospect, I should have bought them all. However, at the time, we had just downsized and lost about 1,000 sq. feet. Did I mention I also have a "chair problem". Well, I do... Back to the Zebra, that is vinyl and the seat is also vinyl navy faux snakeskin! Damn, I should have bought them all. It is now my computer chair and I also heart it very, very much.

Closet Cat Lover

I know it probably appears that I have the potential of looking like a "freaky cat lady" by posting pictures of my cat.  Twice in three postings.  Crazy. Heaven forbid.  Here it goes...I love CATS.  I like DOGS.  That is seriously TABOO in the Ville, I know, but there you have it.  Indie, the cat had some particularly cute moments today and I of course being that "freaky cat lady" took some pictures.  I say that in jest, but this is a dogie dog town and you are in the dog house if you don't like them.  I have one dog.  His name is Jack.  He is a great dog.  We adopted him as an adult.  Why?  I prefer not to go through the puppy phase.  They can't be cute enough, especially when we had a two year old.  When you get a kitten, house training/breaking takes all of three seconds.  You put them in the litter box and voila you are done.  Keep them inside for a couple of months, so you can worry less about owls, hawks, cars, etc...and then get rid of the litter box altogether.   Now you can have a lame cat.  I currently have two.  They stay outside.  Indie does what she pleases.  She just turned one last month.  My boys spent two days trying to catch her.  It finally took a trip to the Humane Society for a trap to get her and she has been a kick ever since.  She loves high places- tops of closets and now much to my husband's chagrin, the newly completed bookcases.  That darn cat...we love her.

"My heart leaps up when I behold a RAINBOW in the SKY." William Wordsworth

I was so happy when I came across this image again today. I was randomly searching blogs that I have never perused before.   A friend had posted it many moons ago, and I had even printed it, but the Lord only knows where it is now, probably folded in a book!   At the time, it inspired me to organize my children's bookcase in rainbow order, but like all good rainbows it was to be a temporary illusion.  However, this picture has been forever in my mind and actually inspired my latest house project.  We just completed building beautiful heart pine bookcases, which I promise to show you at a later post.  The bookcases are literally and figuratively  a blank canvas,  and I find it ironic that I ran across this picture again to give me a gentle nudge and to inspire me.

I love books.  I love that it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow.  I love the smell of rain rising off of the hot, steamy  south georgia asphalt  and  then seeing a glorious rainbow.  Crazy good. So naturally, I love this photo.  

Enjoy, Nan
