on my style radar:


simple, sophisticated, slightly modern without overdoing it, adds variety to typical seating, perhaps a tad fun but the leather fabric makes it seem more serious.


oozing style and masculinity in one, sweet ooze, classic barcelona but the cigar leather gives it a bit of character over the mundane, standard black leather fabric more often seen.


has a hipster edge without coming across as cheap or smelly. not sold on the brass casters but they're supposedly antique. not even sure why they're there? no sense in questioning it, i guess, as one can never put a hipster in a box.

i love my momma:


Hi Ry - I made it back to Galva, safe and sound. It was kind of an abrupt ending to our day, but all's well that ends well. Lessons learned - whew! I'm so glad I was able to come up and spend the day with you and truly enjoyed our time together --although it just went by waaaaay toooooo fast! Having lunch at the Greek restaurant was awesome - I was still full when I got home at 9:00. Dad had gone out to the parking lot after he got done plowing snow at 3:00 p.m. and he scraped all the ice off my windshield so that I didn't have to do that like everyone else. Such a thoughtful man, making sure I could get home as fast as possible without any grief. Anyway, I'm shipping you a Christmas tree tomorrow, so you'll have it by next weekend. It's just the size/shape you need for the window area and it's only $20! So if you go out today, pick up some ornaments and be ready to decorate! And I would still get some fresh boughs or garland for the mantle to get that pine scent. Thanks for everything Ry - I had a wonderful time and would do it again in a heartbeat. Look forward to spending some quiet time with you here before Christmas - before all the Kelly's come home. Let me know how the interview(s) go. Love you. Have a good week and give Buster some hugs from Grandma!
