for his adoring fans…
Okay, okay, for all his adoring fans, I’m posting a photo of the second most important male in my life, Juneau. Look closely, he’s the one napping in the snow. The 10 year-old oversized bedwarmer is my personal interior designer; preferred upholstery cover is snow white hair. everywhere. But who can resist a face like that? And his design services are only the cost of food, water, three walks a day, chews, and the occasional high-pitched squeaky toy. Such a deal! he even keeps my lawn fertilized for me.
Just in - a friend of mine just won an all-expense paid trip to the Azores. For those of you who don’t know where that is (like me) that’s down near Portugal. She and her husband can go anytime they want, though of course now the kids are all excited and there is no way they are going to let them go with out them. I guess it pays to donate early and often to your local public radio station! I’m hoping she’ll pick me up some samples of the traditional fabrics they make down there (hint hint), Google tells me the artists are vibrant part of the country and produce some stunning materials.
Now that she’s on a winning streak my friend has ALREADY bought raffle tickets for the March 24th Kitchen, Food and Wine Auction that’s happening at South Church in Portsmouth, a MUST-attend event. (www.southchurch-uu.org) Apparently she’s hoping to win the trip to Italy as well. Hope springs eternal. I’m going to give her a run for it. Last time Tim and I went to Italy the Pope died and Rome was flooded with so many people I could hardly move without running into another American. (However, in Orvieto I found some phenomenal plates that I hung in the kitchen of my last house) I digress - The auction is for a good cause so mark your calendar to join us, I’m sure my friend won’t mind a little competition in the raffle box.
