A (Very) Young Man About Town.....

Today our grandson Andrew went on the spring tour of the Atlanta Botanical Garden and had a very nice nap. It is his second outing (aside from visits to the pediatrician), the first last weekend at the golf club for Mother’s’ Day brunch. Here is our intrepid traveler, almost six months old:
Just days before he tried to grab the phone while we were FaceTiming...I’m sure he was asking his Grammie to come and get him 😎
I am hopelessly in love with this little guy!

How does one meet a nice young man?
Comments (8)I know she's well educated, but taking a course at a local college just for the joy of it is one way. I drop back in school every once in awhile to take a course I really am interested in, but couldn't take when I was going there full time toward a degree. So many young people are going back to school to get an edge on the changing job market. I'm talking adults of all ages, they make up about half the class at our local branches. Do something for fun where there is an abundance of men. Flying lessons. Learn to bowl. Join a bicycling group. Take up golf or go to a gym. The upside is lots of good exercise as a fringe benefit. Run for a local office or school board. It's the networking and exposure with other young, vibrant people on a repeated basis. Doing things you sincerely enjoy (or might enjoy) doing....See MoreQuestions about Bradington Young quality
Comments (6)meg711, I do have occasional quality control issues with B-Y, but not enough to put me off the brand. Admittedly, I have a keen eye and am quick to find minor workmanship faults, probably because I work with this stuff six days a week and believe that premium furniture must meet a certain expectation in the craft. If they cannot work to a certain standard, then they should market themselves as middle of the road, rather than a premium brand. One thing for example that annoys me on B-Y is their bun feet are connected to the sofas and chairs by means of a single screw-in stud that 'spins' into an inset in the frame. Makes it easy to get on and off for delivery, but the metal insets sometimes fall out of the frame and then you can't get the leg on without making a repair and calling BY for a replacement inset (requires special tools to install). H&M's bunfeet are screwed on with (3) Square Drive wood screws per foot. Takes longer to get them off the piece, but they always go back on. No company is perfect. However I find Hancock and Moore to be the most consistent in delivering high-workmanship goods. If I were to rate them, H&M would get a 9.5 on a 10 scale. Leathercraft whom I also carry, would get a 9.0 Bradington Young I'd rate a 7.5 overall. Southwood a 7.0 Flexsteel a 6.0, etc. (they are middle-of-the-road, however) Bentley Place and King Street are not married cover unless is specifically states so (your dealer can tell you). So those are selected, marked, cut and sewn in Cherryville, NC. Its all relative to price paid for the goods, of course.

Comments (24)That really sucks. Only one out of our 4 cats, the kitten, shows interest in my plants. I've learned to keep them in a room that we keep the door closed to (or outside), but she's pulled several out of their pots and munched on a few as well. She looks almost identical to your cat on the right, except she has no tail....See MoreGluten-free, dairy-free recipes which might appeal to a young man.
Comments (50)Well, despite my good intentions, I didn't get any baking done because my son-in-law awoke before everyone else yesterday, and used all the eggs to make us Mother's Day breakfast. Who could complain about that? ;) I spoke to my brother (nephew's father) who does most of the cooking for their family; he said they'd made spaghetti using the gluten-free product we'd given my nephew. They all, including the two teenagers, liked it, and brother said he couldn't tell any difference in taste from semolina pasta. Most of the time, I try to tailor recipes to my family's tastes, or convenience, so I appreciate the discussions of different methods and substitutions of ingredients. Thanks again to all of you who have shared real life experiences and advice about gluten-free/vegan cooking and medical issues. My SIL (nephew's mother) shares a practice with a local internist, so I think they have the medical issues covered. I'm just trying to help out with my specialty--as the family baker....See More
