I'm glad you didn't take her after she was dead, like Aunt Edna in the lawn chair on top of the station wagon.:D- Paisley

the country drive
Ugh, I hated road trips with my parents. It was always in the hottest part of summer and they wouldn't use the air conditioner. They wouldn't listen to music, either. And my father in particular didn't like to stop for anything--he liked to get in at least 12 hours per day of driving. Could be...- Paisley

Help me accessorize this Outfit!
Two words: don't swat. Life-loving bees don't want to sting you. My yard is full of flowers and therefore full of bees, and I haven't been stung in about 35 years. I just stand still if one lands on me.- Paisley

A letter writer's dilemma (xpost)
If you can't find anything off the shelf, a neighbor of mine makes paper. He once told the story of making wedding invitations with flower petals from the site of the wedding (the bride and her mother picked the flowers and FedExed them to his house). His name is Ray Tomasso; his email is...- Paisley

the country drive
I took my dog to the mountains last weekend. She splashed around in the stream and at one point, stopped, looked into the water, got out, and barked. I think a fish must have nibbled on her leg. There were so many flowers in bloom: cranesbill, asters, something that looked like snapdragons...- Paisley

Eyebrow Grooming
I had my eyebrows waxed a few years ago. They bled! And they were so thin I just wanted my old eyebrows back. Now I tweeze when I think about; I don't think blond eyebrows need much attention. -
Classic Clothes and Accessories Made to Last
Pants When I look at pants in a catalog, I usually think, "Those pants don't even look good on the models." So I don't often buy pants, much as I like them. Four or five years ago, I did have the good luck to buy a pair of pants I've worn once a week since I bought them. They've held up through...- Paisley

Classic Clothes and Accessories Made to Last
Shoes Clarks You're only as happy as your feet are, and feet are happiest in decent shoes. With wide feet and heel spurs, I can't wear cheap shoes anymore. And I'm hard on shoes: even though I'm not clumsy, they soon get scuffed and scraped. My strategy has been to go for comfort and...- Paisley

Are you feeling the economic crunch?
On Happiness and Borrowing "I’ve seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage – leverage being borrowed money....I’ve never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I’ve got no interest in it...I never thought I would be way happier when I had 2X instead of...- Paisley

Are you feeling the economic crunch?
All my life. It's too cold, too far, too expensive, and I don't want a broken leg. For the time and expense of shooshing down a slope a few times, I can do a heckuva lot of dancing.:)- Paisley

Are you feeling the economic crunch?
Many of the things people say they've cut back on are things I've always gotten along without. I've never had my nails done, never been on skis, never had a gym membership, never bought a brand new car, never had cable or a dish, don't often eat out, don't buy organic food, don't shop...- Paisley

Does vintage make you look.... *older*?
It depends. A middle-aged man in casual, contemporary clothes might look like Charlie Brown (good one!), but even a young guy in a 20s suit and hat might end up looking like the Monopoly man. Not all vintage clothing looks distinguished on all people. Not that looking older is necessarily a...- Paisley
