Its a wet and wild holiday..
More rain for us for the next few days...we bought mulch yesterday so we could work in the yard (remove weeds, spread mulch) but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen today...we'll see...its pretty soggy, trying to dig up weeds in wet dirt is twice as hard...
The new bed is really nice...when I mentioned wanting one of these to some friends, they all told me 'no' that it was a 'gimmick' and not to bother...I can say, after sleeping on it for a few nights that it feels wonderful...I don't toss and turn, the bed stays cool and I'm comfortable...I don't care if its a gimmick or not, its the kinda bed you don't wanna get out of in the morning...
We started hitting some small antique shops nearby and I found a drop leaf table for our front hallway...its a narrow hallway, so the table had to be narrow too...I like furniture that looks old, yet sturdy...like our house...I'm trying to stay away from too much new stuff and get old, comfortable furniture with some character...Brian found a yearbook from 1924 that has the most awesome pictures...the haircuts, the outfits, the non-smiling faces, the art-deco illustrations...I want to scan some pages so you can see what's in it...We found a teacher dressed like Elmira Gulch...I haven't had a chance to really soak it all in, but I'm gonna spend some time with it...We found an old ice box that Brian had never seen before..the kinda that you put the large block of ice in one side and your foodstuffs in the other...I have a perfect spot in the kitchen for it, but its not needed right now...there are other pieces that i want to pick up first...we'll get what we need eventually...we are pretty light in the furniture dept, so it will be fun to go hunting/collecting.
