Comments (27)Good evening, y'all! It's been warm (up to the mid-70's) and sunny here today. I sat out in it for a few minutes this morning when dh let me off at the front door of the hospital and went to park the car. My procedure went great. Just the colonscopy, not the top end this time. All was well, no polyps or problems. YEA! Must have been all those good thoughts and prayers from my good friends. :) Marci and Jan, I'm so sorry to hear about your falls and owies. Bless your hearts. Let others pamper you until you're feeling better! Suzanne, all your photos this week have been so beautiful. The one of the pending avalanche was amazing. And, after my experience this morning, all I can say about that egg photo is "ouch" for that poor chicken that delivered the really big one! Love your photos always! Dee, thanks for checking in about Dave on FB. Still no word. I guess that things are still the same, so they don't have the heart to post right now. DH and I drove straight to Antonio's Italian restaurant from the hospital! LOL The dr. had advised a bland diet: scrambled eggs, pancakes, oatmeal. I just looked at him and said, "WHAT???" He laughed and told me to just go easy at first and to not eat the peppers in the salad when I got there. I ate about 1/4 of the salad and the shrimp & chicken florentine, then boxed up the leftovers for dinner tonight. It was definitely the thought that counted for that meal. :) I slept great last night and awoke ready to get the show on the road at 9 a.m. I got to the hospital at 10 and was in and out from the procedure at the same time I'd originally been scheduled for it. Home by 1 after lunch. No nap, but I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight. It's great to come here and see Maddie, Donna, and Marci posting, too. It's how it should be! I'll be talking to y'all more this weekend. Time for a bite to eat!...See MoreSS Support Mon. Oct. 18th through Sun. Oct. 24th
Comments (48)WOWZA, it's quiet here today. DeeMarie, welcome back. Can't wait to see your pix. Marci posted some for me while you were gone! Raeanne, I would think that right after the first of the year we should start seriously making plans. Maybe sooner? I guess I would ask Maddie to guide us here because who knows. I can't even remember the exact date! I am sending Kingfisher thoughts your way. LOL Today is my Siamese boys birthday. 12 and 10 years old. Boy time has flown. They are out in the livingroom rolling around in the catnip I got them to celebrate with. I will join them with a glass of wine shortly! I love watching them groove on catnip. I lead such an exciting life!!! The pumpkin festival in Keene, NH is this weekend. Our office carved pumpkins to spell out Equine Journal and it will be displayed on the tower at the top of Main Street about 9 tiers up. Keene is trying to break it's own world's record of 28,000 or so. This year we are going for 30,000! Check out the link below. The tower you see here is at the top of the square and is the tower our pumpkins will be on. QOD: My alarm is set for 4am Mon-Fri. and I am usually in bed by 9:30 and 10 is pushing it for me unless I have to. On weekends I try to sleep in which usually ends up being 5:30 or 6! Still it feels good not to have to hear the alarm. Here is a link that might be useful: Keene Pumpkin Festival...See More18th Century paint color help?
Comments (13)let me caution you about Benjermine More paints (The aura specifically). I tried to use them based on the local store's recommendation that they glide easily over everything! Turns out they do....if your paint is modern (ie the last 20 years or so). They turned to GUM when used on older paint...some chemical reaction to the aura chemicals. I highly DO NOT recommend you ever attempt to use that awful stuff in a historical home if you don't know your paint history. I can't tell you how huge a pain it is to have to sand off paint you've recently applied (and that was my only option after using that crap). I'm left bitter by the experience as you can tell...it's probably fine paint in a modern home, but do watch out in your home. I was shocked at how bad it was. Since then I've used only Fine Paints of Europe or Sherwin Williams profinish paints. My home is 1890 (just a baby compared to yours) but who knows it's paint finish history :) I'm thinking mine is 60's and earlier mostly (as I removed wall paper from some of the rooms I've painted which I know has been there since the mid 60's). I have to say, the FPE finish is the best finish I've ever experienced and it looks particularly perfect in a historic setting. The sheens are hard to beat (this from a SW lover LOL). So...just test carefully and avoid the gimic paints like the plague!...See MoreI.D. of stamps on 18th century pewter tankard?
Comments (19)THE PEWTER SOCIETY JUST GOT BACK TO ME! Call me a " nerdy fan-boy" if you like, but I feel like I just received a letter from a favorite celebrity. Most of what they said was deduced here, but it was still nice of them to respond. Copied and pasted from the e-mail reply: "Dear Bradley Thanks for your enquiry 9 September. This is an English 19th century straight sided quart measure with verification marks for the County of Gloucester (round mark) and a crowned VR 409 which is probably from Settle in Yorkshire and put in the reign of Queen Victoria. The verification marks were put on by the Excise Inspector when he checked the quart mug in use to ensure that the publican was not giving short measure. We switched to the Imperial capacity standard in 1826 and still use it today when we are not using metric so you can check its capacity. An Imperial quart is 20 fl oz and an Old English Ale standard quart is 20.3 fl oz. 1 fl oz is 28.413 ml . It is quite likely that the tin alloy contains a small proportion of lead to harden the metal so not recommended for drinking out of today."...See More- 10 years ago
