Milestone anniversary celebrations: What did you do?
Comments (25)We're pretty much like roses, nothing special for anniversaries. Some years we go out to eat, others we don't bother. i do have a doozie of a 25th story though. A few weeks before that anniversary while on a road trip (sans husband) I had car trouble. A few days later I realized the very small diamond in my engagement ring was gone; I suspect it was or maybe still is in the grass next to I-95 between Cocoa Beach and Miami which is where I was crawling around trying to deal with the car. So, I was sitting on the couch when I noticed the missing stone--no I'm not the most observant woman. Although it wasn't a large or expensive diamond it was what he gave me when were were young and starting out so, upset, I went into the bathroom where my husband was showering to tell him I'd lost ti. Whereupon the poor man uttered the most foolish words a husband could come up with: "Well, maybe you want to get something bigger to replace it." Took me about one nanosecond to agree to that plan and in the end I traded up to a stone 400% bigger than my original and just for good measure to a platinum engagement setting and band. Yowza, I figure that 25th anniversary gift will stand in for all the years before and after :). Ann...See MoreIn Home Camper Updates w Pics?
Comments (14)We are having lots of fun with the metal tile that seems to add so much warmth and visual interest. Thank you for all the kind cheers. I was looking back at earlier threads, and seeing how we all anticipate demolition day, getting all excited, and then play waiting & glitch intervention games. It's nice to hear how things are moving along during some of the more tedious phases. When I read about GC or countertop install issues...do I ever get it now about the trauma involved in those challenges! We've had a few - wood floor near catastrophy - but the pain is long forgotten once resolved....See MoreAnother small milestone! Laundry rm. nearly done.
Comments (2)I forgot to share finished photo! I still havent chosen hardware, lol. I changed the photo out for a couple of taller florals in white frames hung over the sink. By the way, the floor is Chamonix by Del Conca. It’s the most convincing bluestone replica I’ve yet to see in porcelain tile. It is holding up really well in this back entry/utility area. Very happy. I still need to do those cabinet pulls and change out the lighting eventually, but glad the reno is behind us. I wish I could move the appliances further back, but the other side of that wall is the garage, so the plumbing and ducting are all behind it and dryer is vented out to the wall on the left. It cannot be easily hidden in the wall since we live in Minnesota and exterior walls take precedence over design....See MoreAnother death today, David McCullough
Comments (13)FYI In The Atlantic (I have not yet read this) History Is Human’: Remembering David McCullough With the death this week of David McCullough, we lost an author who understood how to find the stories that made history feel relevant and real. AUGUST 10, 2022 Fred R. Conrad / New York Times / Redux AUGUST 10, 2022, 12:17 PM ET Two years ago, I happened to come across an interview with David McCullough in the Vineyard Gazette, his hometown newspaper. I still have it, printed out and placed in a folder in my desk drawer. I kept it because, as was so often the case, McCullough had said something that I wanted to remember. “There are any number of ways to begin a book,” he had told the interviewer while they sat on the back porch of his house on Martha’s Vineyard. “I like to begin with somebody on the move.” The first book I read by McCullough was John Adams, one of his many masterworks that begins with men on the move. “In the cold, nearly colorless light of a New England winter,” he wrote, “two men on horseback traveled the coast road below Boston, heading north.” For me, that was all it took. I wanted to know who these men were, where they were going, what was going to happen next. I did not care that the book was nearly 800 pages long. I was hooked. For writers of nonfiction, there are subjects, and then there … Continued at link https://apple.news/A-dOtgoOTRUWtG-Q2LGC1IQ also, from earlier this week, a screen capture (paywall) I like this photo and the setting. Well, I say I like the photo. I like DM and the setting; I don’t like seeing a photo of someone ill (if he was so when the photo was taken)....See More
