Happy August, Darlings!

I've been ever so busy, traveling, gardening, etc, that I haven't had time to retreat to the water heater and oven mitt world of the Blog. I'll try to be better, but when the weather is this nice, it really is hard to sit in front of a computer.

so before I forget, here are this month's holidays...

In other news, I found a fabulous lamp the other day, and The Colonel - God Bless Him - found an amazing clock-and-plaque set (he's a big clock fan), AND restored it himself!!! (It had some issues) Pictures will be posted at an appropriate time, possess your souls with Christian patience.

In other news, John McCain is an ass, and anyone who would consider voting for him is an idiot. My old political instinct is breaking through here, and you might start girding your loins for some of my old-timey political ranting, at least through the Obama victory.

And now I must run. The Major Concern beckons tenderly....

UPDATE: Your Christian Patience paid off. I found the camera. Now you can see the loveliness for yourself. That lamp looks even better at night.
