Fun times
When I go to the Y I like to sit at the mini table and pretend I'm a giant!!
It's pretty awesome.

My homeland: Canada's Ocean Playground!
Bought for $2 at a flea market in Park Slope last weekend:
Northwest Arm!
Canoe jousting? Wha—?
That is Barrington Street, on the lefthand page, top right.
Apple Blossom Queen.
This looks like the South Shore to me.
Giant fish!
Now I really want to go camping!
Highland Games.

Found: "shabby" "chic" dresser
Nice, right? Someday I might repaint it.
For now we keep our napkins in it!
And, in the bottom drawer, random crap!
You have to put that stuff somewhere.

I made this!
New glasses case:
I used a new technique of doubling up the strands of yarn: one turquoise and one red in every stitch.
I love it! Also: very sturdy.

Mirado Black Warrior!
Find a pencil, pick it up. All that day you'll have good luck!
Good luck, plus a free pencil!

Let's go fly a kite!
Yep, we took Greg's stunt kite to the park.
It went up:
Wheeeee!
Then it came down:
Bonk. In the mud.
We kept trying for a while, but there just wasn't quite enough wind.

Plunger friend
How do you like this dude?
He lives on the wall in the kitchen. Greg's friend Seth made him.
I love his little teeth. Seth also made this, from an old foam buoy:
Nice.

Saturday birds
Lineup for the bird feeder:
It reminds me of airplanes stacked up, waiting to land.
House finch gettin' a sunflower seed:
I like those little guys and gals.

Hmmmm.
Sorry, this is the worst photograph ever (I need a scanner!), but check out this advertisement:
Ummm, if this were a real museum you would need a magnifying glass to read that label even if you were standing right in front of it.
Just saying.

Oh no!
At one time we had eight pounds (8 x 454 g) of Quebec butter in our freezer. Now we have only one.
We visited Montreal in November, and on the way to the airport to come back to New York Greg popped into a dépanneur and filled a bag with butter.
It really is delicious butter. Good call, Greg! (I was skeptical.)
Now we need to get some more.

Another little cub
This little cub has some problems.
Ain't got no ears, arms, or tail. And one of his legs is kinda wizened. Nice pink bow tho!

Big Ben
Check this out! Charles's grandfather had the same clock as my grandfather, and now it belongs to Charles.
The same except Charles's clock is a Big Ben; mine is a Baby Ben.
Cool.

Ebay dot com
I received a little package in the mail yesterday. And in it, these little items:
Hee hee!
Very similar!
And yes, there is a mini bread bun in the desk!
Oh lord. Where will it end?

Secretary chair
This "classic office chair of the 1950s" is very similar to the one I found.
I need to go to this store.

"It's a rose, made out of paper"
So this is the dining-room window again:
We have a new paper garland!
Isn't it pretty? I love the printed paper. I am going to get another one for the other side of the window: $2.99 at Pearl River Mart.
Oh, this is new too:
I have had the bootie for a long time (there is another one somewhere), but that piece of wood was inside the wine box I found the other day.
UPDATE: OMG the bootie reminds me that last night I dreamed I was pregnant - I was getting an ultrasound and I saw the baby's face smiling at me! And then Batman showed up and there were helicopters...and it got confusing.
