when our hero is feeling down…
or crippled with back pain, the poor guy…
How does he keep up his strength, to work all day, talking with patients who have no idea he’s in pain?
Ah, good tea and sunflower seeds! That’s the answer?
Well, and these:
Hmmm…
Kinda like little energy packets, I guess. And the SCENAR can’t hurt, either.
So who gets the seeds?
Wha? Who, me?
We practice the most difficult kunst of all. We have five kids between us, hundreds of students and grads, and sometimes we get to travel to teach and to see family on the west coast or Europe. We live in a few places (or will in November) and prefer the one far from the madding crowd.
Noticed the towel on your white sofa – even though we have slipcovers – we’re doing the same thing – OFF they go for guests!
I know! I wonder what I was thinking!
Rudi had on these navy blue socks two days ago and they rubbed off on everything! Hence the towel. Plus, when he gets to nap he uses it as a blanket. Would you believe we have no blankets?
We go to Ft. Lauderdale on the 20th and I am so excited to visit a Pottery Barn (I have never been to a real one, only a virtual one) and to buy a few throws!!
I have two cream-colored chairs in my living room and I bought dark red throws to protect them from the cats – and us . But they were fuzzier than they seemed – and the very first time I put them on the chairs all the red fuzz attached itself to the cream cushions and forever after the chairs have had a pinkish tinge. So watch out for the throws too! Janet
I was anticipating the end of that story!
Funny.
So – I am leaning toward a soft blue throw. I already picked it out at Pottery Barn. I love their stuff. I wish I had $10000000000000 and no import duty to get things back here.
Anyway, I think the soft blue should work. The rug is all shades of blue with a touch of creamy tan. In jute or something equally uncomfortable (Eric, Nicola can’t crawl here and maintain his knee skin!). But I can wash it first, to see how bad it fuzzes.
My rug is a dark red Oriental – and though I wash sheets and clothes and stuff before using them, because I have some kind of fond hope that it might dilute some of the no-iron glazing, I didn’t think of pre-washing these. Nor did I realize that the fabric of the chairs would act like velcro or that the throws would respond in kind.
