Good morning ..........
Lot's of rain and lightning thru the night - but no other viscious weather here. The tiny creek downhill is movin fast and about twice as wide - but no signs of flooding. For the first time, Gizmo took off - and went upstairs thru the lightning. The light flashes really scare him - so I guess he was looking for the dark hallway upstairs. All is well this morning though!
Lots and lots of posts overnight!!!~!!!
Chotti ..... will check out your uncle. My pride and joy Wright repro is a large pro-framed photo poster of "Falling Water" in my LR centered over the little FP - and it can be seen from the Entry, DR and part of the Kitchen. My first was a letter opener - featuring the Wright Sprite - that i use every day.
I do have a pair of framed repro's of two of Wright's stained glass designs - and they're wall-mounted and uplit on either side of my electronic piano in the LR. And besides two books, one dvd and of course - the all-important refrig magnet!!!
I once went on a bus/walking tour of 10 of his buildings in Oak Park & River Forest - while in my 20's in the last century ..... and was floored to see how ego-centric he was by insisting that one of the interior passage doors (from the kitchen) was made to be (about) 5'-6" tall because of the scale of the kitchen - but also because he was so short!!!! This was on a clients house - not his own house!
Yeah - he was something of a womanizer too!!!! I remember when first going into business for myself, guided by Wrights personal life, I said to myself - "don't ever mess around with either a client, a married woman or a woman young enough to be my daughter". I think Wright violated all three - and more than once!
Hardly comparing myself - but I was influenced by his work on buildings ... and not very influenced by his work in buildings!!!!
UA ..... I just sent an e-mail to your BF!
Karen ...... you sound like a kid in a candy store - new windows, chocolate and wine!
Cat ...... sorry to hear all that you've been going thru - have the doctors said when this will all be well - or at least better?
JB1 ...... my daughter has been so busy, she hasn't had much time to see or do much besides work. She and her BF did go to an outdoor concert a week ago - and to a few ma/pa-type restaurants within walking distance, but not to the park yet she wants so badly to run in. And because of the heat, she thinks running at 7:30pm might work best for her at this time of year - before dark!
Good to hear that jogging does relieve some pressure for you!
Michele ....... four back surgeries? Yikes!!!! By the way, I have used the "hot and icey" patches on my shoulder when excercising. They help a little - but not much more. They do smell like Super-Ben Gay too - if that's a problem. I used prescribed lidoderm patches and they weren't any better - for me.
Hey - what's this about hot nurses? The new nurse was very attractive, but ...... that ain't why amma there!!!! Besides, amm old enuff ta be her daddy .... or her daddy's old friend! Shoot!!!!!!
Notes:
That Gizzy must have hidden that leash. He's not acted strange in any way, so i can't believe it's in his stomach. Gotta look behind and under things today.
It's dark and gloomy here still - we might get more rain today. The grass (the ground type) is growing like crazy and is a nice dark green.
So glad to be rid of Winter!
Peace and wellness
Rob & Gizmo
