I didn't think I would be able to get on line down on my retreat, but :) if I sit in the right spot in my kitchen I can hook up with the marina internet. <br /><br />Jennie--You know me...I'll be putting something random up soon. :)<br /><br />Jen--Everytime I see your picture it makes me wonder if we are related. I have a picture from the fifth grade that looks soooo much like yours!<br /><br />Jackee--I'm glad you got the card. Thank you so much for the basket full of books and goodies! I'm reading Heist Society right now. It's really good! <br /><br />Oriental Rug Cleaning--Thank for stopping in!

I hope you enjoyed the weekend.<br /><br />Janet--Thanks...I'm glad I have plain old carpet in my house...of course, I'll bet all that pattern covered up spills well. :)<br /><br />Carol--I love pottery too. When we go on holiday, I try and buy either a piece of local pottery or art and of course a silver charm for my bracelet. When we are in the UK, we love going to charity shops...We've found some lovely bits in them. Thanks for the well wishes, but I'm so pleased to have my computer working. I thought I'd be completely disconnected from the rest of the world.<br /><br />I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!Sharon K.

So many good pieces to be had if you look around. It's amazing what people will give away for next to nothing. But anyway, your pics are gorgeous! It looks like you've had a lovely time exploring.

It looks like the weather is going to be great...Ahh the distractions.<br /><br />Mary--I sounds like you have a good plan to get on track with your writing "retreat." Best wishes...<br /><br />Stina--Thanks. It looks like I may be able to hit and miss the internet a bit...(I was worried about withdrawl!)<br /><br />Jennifer--It is amazing what was considered nice carpet at one time...Could you imagine putting all of those colors and designs on your floor now? I finished reading the last of Donna Aviles books this morning. They are a great read. I'm not sure if they are considered biographies or historical fiction...They are about her relatives that lived in the early 1900's. Interesting stuff!<br /><br />Brian---Missing you too! I should be able to check in every once and a while...weather permitting.<br /><br />Tess--Thanks! I got stung by a hornet this morning...not nice at all!!!! I had no idea what got me until Walt got stung and actually saw it. By then I'd taken a bunch of benadryl and was loopy....<br /><br />Jill--It's lovely! We went to the Beldavier (sp?) Mansion as well. It had a great story too...it was full of things like chipendale chairs, tiffany lamps, famous bit from movies...Worth the money although you felt a bit rushed.<br /><br />Jeff--That's great! Have you started researching who you might send it to? <br /><br />Lenny--Had a great day, but got stunk by a hornet...OUCH! Miss you too.<br /><br />Vicki--Wow your hubby took over the plans for an anniversary trip...That is awesome! It's a fun place. Parking is not the best, but if you are okay with walking it's fun.<br /><br />Susan--Thanks. Wish you were coming with us!<br /><br />Hilary--You are right, it's funny how something that seemed to be as good as white bread turned out to be not so healthy...(kind of like white bread, LOL).<br /><br />I'll be checking in on everyone here and there...Have a safe summer!Sharon K.

I love seeing what the old days looked like - so thanks for your pictures of the carpets .. the designs are so interesting .. the richer the better in those days. Good too to see the Galena pottery .. yes .. lots of nasties helped produced everyday items in days gone by .. but then they were so new and so wonderful .. <br /><br />Interesting what we learn .. <br /><br />Enjoy your break .. sounds great .. and thanks very much for your comments over at my blog .. I'm having a few changes here .. so it'll be good to connect later on in the summer - when we're both freer or back on line! <br /><br />Have a lovely time ..
