A few chuckles from the thrift store finds page.
.
.
Well, it definitely beats a gnome.

A Christian ouija board with a direct line to Jesus.
Who could resist?
.
.
Personally I hope I never see anything like it either.
.
.
No bathroom is complete without one.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy…
Run!
.
.
Because we never pass up an opportunity to do a flight.

Hobbs Tavern and Brewery.

The Two and Two white stout was delightful.
.
.
Broccoli cheese soup and a pomegranate margarita to start for me.
.
.
Husband had a yummy bacon wrapped herby meatloaf.
.
.
And I had a great turkey club with cranberry mayo.
On the furniture fabric home front… we’ve narrowed it down to this accent pattern but can’t decide between solids for the couches.
.
.
In certain conditions the light is too light.
.
.
In others, the dark is too dark.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten couldn’t care less.
.
.
But I’m leaning towards the light.

Spring is here … though to be honest I’m still waiting for winter. March in Maine used to mean cold and snow but temps have been near 50 most of the month and up until last week’s snow storm we had green grass in places.
Sigh.
.
.
It’s been damp and too warm all winter.
.
.
Though I admit the morning fog is soothing.
.
.
His Lordship?
.
.
Never misses his morning coffee.
.
.
And now that his scratchy post has been returned to its normal living room site…
.
.
All is right with his world.
.
.
I just hope the furniture stores don’t mind a little cat hair on their fabric samples.
😉

We had a terrible rain and wind storm two weeks ago. It wasn’t a N’or Easter but with 65 mph gusts and power outages it might as well have been.
.
.
When the power went out, I plopped myself down and read a book.
And watched the shingles on our roof flap.
That’s always fun.
.
.
Not.
My husband spent the next day on the roof replacing those we’d lost. Homeownership is a bitch.
Shortly after, his Harley returned from the shop.
.
.
Again
$1,500 later…
.
.
He’s sputtering about selling and I think he might finally be ready to let her go this time.
🤞
.
.
Yes, my friends are still sending me not at all helpful furniture suggestions.
.
.
Just…
No.
.
.
I may not want that weird couch, but I totally want a croissant dinosaur.
Yes I do.
.
.
Worst. Coffee. Mug.
Ever!
.
.
As seen while out shopping with a girlfriend.
Epic oops.
.
.
Can furniture fabric get any uglier?
Damn.
.
.
Now that looks like a riveting read.
Not.
.
.
Required shot of His Lordship doing his best vampire impression.
.
.
Our new flooring is (90%) done so I thought you might like to see a few before and afters.
Keep in mind the before shots don’t show how truly terrible and worn out the old Berber carpet really was.

Before.

After.

After.
(With a gaping hole on the upper right waiting for the new dining room set to arrive.)
.

Before.
.

After.
With the same empty space on the left.
.

Before.
.

After.
.
.
Another after from the empty dining space.
.
.
Some of these after pictures don’t do it justice as the true color is hard to capture. It’s not as dark as it looks in some and has a much warmer tone in person.
.
.
And if you can use it?
I promise I’ll try not to judge…
.
.
When I saw that picture I knew it was going to be good bad.
.
.
Please note the author of the article’s name. That can’t be a coincide….
.
.
Buzz Lightyear was iconic. His original name? Not so much.
.
.
Lunar Larry wouldn’t get anywhere near infinity and beyond.
.
.
I’m confused.
Can naked dressing even be considered dressing?
.
.
AI.
Those aren’t the only things it will get wrong.
.
.
I’m with Kate.
Pass the Mac and cheese..
👍

After almost a month of green grass and temps in the 50’s?
.
.
We had a storm yesterday.
.
.
It snowed all day and dumped 5 inches, which was fine…. but when it switched to sleet?
.
.
We woke up to this….
.
.
An ice covered world.
.
.
Tree branches were drooping with it and we were lucky not to lose power as other Mainers did.
.
.
It coated everything and while it’s pretty…
.
.
It’s also harder to deal with than just snow.
.
.
Ice ice baby.
.
.
My fingers are crossed for some sun and melting today.
.
.
🥴

The weird and wonderful things found at thrift stores page on Facebook really makes me laugh.
I have a girlfriend who loves to thrift and I’ve seen some odd things going with her, but these people take it to a whole new level.
.
.
Perfect!
.
.
Wow.
.
.
Gallons of holy water would be necessary and I still wouldn’t feel safe.
.
.
I’m speechless.
.
.
Now that’s a spice drawer with attitude.
.
.
Maniacal carrots can not be refused.
.
.
🤣

I’m happy to report my pickle algorithm seems to have taken a hike and in its place something a little closer to my heart has started popping up.
Although not all the recipes are good.
.
.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
🤢
.
.
Yes, the Pillsbury doughboy is now sharing cocktail recipes with me. The world is a very strange place indeed.
.
.
That doesn’t sound or look the least bit appealing.
I doubt it’s a very good idea in general either.
Ouch!
.
.
Talk about your basic recipe. It’s like they’re not even trying.
.
.
Cheers!
