Mornin' f[r]oggy!
I like all the pics in your log. Why would you ever want to take them out?

I should have expected my dad to go snooping. He's a curious sort of guy and I've been doing a lot of renovations. He was probably just looking to seeif I had repainted the INSIDES of the closets too!
I even went to the hardware store and picked up some skeleton keys that fit the victorian locks, but the mechanism is stuck from a century of people painting right over the hardware! But he's a sweetheart and wouldn't hold it against me that I've turned to a life of crime, LOL! It's funny that I always flame the kids trying to hide a grow from their parents and here I am with the same problem... except that I own my own home and they aren't in danger!

I'm glad you had a nice weekend. Mine was actually fabulous... there's a sweet little Italian restaurant that just opened up on the other side of the hill and my neighbor and I finally went there for some nice Malbec and an eggplant terrine on Saturday evening. Holy shit were we in heaven.

Then Sunday night after my Pops took off, I headed over to visit a buddy who has had the blues ever since he broke things off with his [lazy and useless] girlfriend of like 15 years... and now he's got a beautiful place of his own, but I think it just hit him hard that he's the only one there and it's getting cold and dreary. So we had a little green and poked through his ridiculous collection of antique cookbooks and had a good laugh at all the absurd recipes for jello molds, mousses, aspics, and other questionably-textured foods. I'm so glad I was not a housewife during the 40s and 50s, that's all I can say!
