A biting 13 degrees Fahrenheit, with a stiff 25 mph breeze! It will most likely be the deerstalker with flaps down today if I have to wander out under duress!
Since I'm already here...
My beloved likes my vintage style clothes. In fact when I was first courting her, I turned up at her home for dinner one night dressed to the nines, Coke hat (AKA Bowler), waistcoat, pocket watch & chain, dress jacket, silk scarf, oatmeal coloured Harris Tweed topcoat...
Being a former submariner, I find snappy comeback quite clever.
For circumstances such as these I coined the phrase many years ago: “If you can’t say it with flowers, you can likely say it with sarcasm.”
Hello One & All,
Since I was last here, which was sometime ago, I had to let "The Queen Mary" go. She was my 1965 Lincoln Convertible. We're in the process of moving and we don't have a garage on the other end, which is essential with a cabriolet of any era. It was a dream car to own whilst I...
It's Bitingly cold day here in the teens, with a stiff breeze to go along with it. We're going to have homemade chicken pot pie, with a nice red wine to go along with it.
Welcome aboard Hatted Hoosier! Feel free to put your hat safely on the coat rack shelf, or hall tree of your choosing, pull up a chair, pour a beverage of your liking, and enjoy some good conversation.
It's a cool crisp winter day here, so I'll be wearing my Lock & Co. Coke hat (AKA Bowler or Derby in some circles.) to church. One might as well wear one from the venerable firm that made the first one in 1849 for Lord Edward Coke. The Coke is too warm to enjoy during the steamier months, hence...
"Don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses.
If you have enough of those in your repertoire, you could perform at a Borscht Belt hotel this summer. :)
I though it was only polite to tip cows!
I like to use “The Art of Shaving” Sandalwood products. They have good pre-shave oil, a great shave cream, and a nice aftershave balm. I also use an antique shaving mug with a very nice large silvertip badger brush that was a present from my beloved wife some years ago. I have also found that...
Having lived in New England for a while years ago, I know the style well. We also spent our Honeymoon in "camp" version of one of these on Peaks Island almost 13 years ago. They came make for a homey comfortable living, provided one doesn't rip the soul out of the house by improving it as I have...
I loath "texutured" vinyl. Our kitchen floor is a beige textured vinyl. I'm getting ready to do something similar to what you did in our 1895 Victorian.
Here Here! Except I would like to amend the motion to read " That their benefits are to reflect an average of those in the private sector, in addition to digging ditches!"
Hi Lizzie,
A did a very nice installation. And you are quite right about the duability of the commercial vinyl tiles. You could have the entire troupe of "River Dance" trough your kitchen and they would still stand up fine. I know, I used to strip and wax floors in a past life. By the way, what...
