In Brattleboro it’s more than ok for your dear friends to wrap your 24th anniversary present with festive duct tape, as long as they also reuse the number from their own 25th anniversary party.
We found this cute table at one of our local used stuff stores a few weeks ago. Now, with a little sanding and a can of texture spray paint, it takes its rightful place in our shag-a-licious living room.
From time to time somebody runs a bubble machine off one of the rooftops on Main St. Last night was the first time we’ve seen that happen after dark. Magical!

My own private island
Lately, I’ve been hanging around with a number of people who own their own islands, and, honestly, I think that’s pretty cool.

Now, I too have my own private island, and best of all, it fits in my kitchen!

Our latest local food truck attempt is called 802 Burger, and it appears to be a couple of teenagers who thought they could make a go of the restaurant business.

At least I didn’t spend thousands for fake wine!!
