reading and relaxing in Seattle
I’ve been on the lookout for a television stand for a while now. When I saw this dresser sitting in the trash room of my apartment building, I knew that with a little care it could be perfect.

I adore the fashion of the time period, especially all the hats! I have to say though, that my favorite character is Maggie Read the Post

It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating and toasting to the New Year and now this year is almost half over. As the calendar rolls over into the sixth month, it is strange to think that just a couple of months ago the city was cool and grey, emerging from winter. Now, the sun shines high in Read the Post
Everyone has some sort of hobby, I guess. Some people listen to music or collect rocks or create scrapbooks. Other people play sports, paint, or trace their family tree.
