In the process, we’ve had to make a date change, from Friday, March 24th, to Friday, April 7th. Same time, 6-8 p.m., different picture. If the new date…

Greetings, gorgeous! Yes, you! What this vintage mama has learned, is that it’s not the holidays that matter, nearly as much as how we make each other feel, throughout the year. (Deep, huh?) Mr. Wonderful and I will exchange cards and we’ll make a nice dinner together, in the evening. Gin rummy and dominoes and the evening news. What more could I ask for? On to more interesting things, if I was willing to battle the crowds at a local restaurant, on Valentine’s Day, Bob and I just discovered a new, to us, restaurant. It’s in the Pavillions, for you…

Hello sweetness! Happy February! We have been painting fools lately! Here’s a quick update… Mom and Dad would be proud to sit at their beautiful Henredon dining room table. We refinished this beauty and deepened the stain, with General Finishe’s Gel Stain. The process brought back so many memories, of Sunday dinners and Mom’s grand dinner parties, entertaining their friends. Mom would bring out the crystal, silver, flowers and china, to serve her delicious food. (Guess who the clean up crew was?! You guessed it! My sisters and Me!) She knew how to entertain! (The picture above shows the table…
