Seriously, I am way happy over here in MN.<br /><br />I did read a few pf your recent posts, but then decided I would start at the very beginning. So far, I've read until December of 2008. You were back on your feet again, enjoying holidays, your house was for sale, and you were making lots of cupcakes, painting, and setting up vintage shows. <br /><br />So, I will be back to make a "current" comment when I get up to date. And then, I HOPE, there will be other 50-something women in your comments and "show your home" posts I can read too.<br /><br />Again, SO glad to have found your community.<br /><br />Becky<br />becali9@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277030315969732003.post-68452279389523496722012-06-25T15:57:31.089-07:002012-06-25T15:57:31.089-07:00Love the little vintage sprinkler on the side tabl...Love the little vintage sprinkler on the side table.
