I have this favorite spot. A spot were there is lots of wildlife (like the racoons whose tracks were left in the mud above) and it's quite and peaceful. It's a place where I take Sandi to run around off leash and splash around in dirty marsh water. My mother actually hates it when Sandi and I go here because we always come home covered in grey marsh muck (& it seems we always go there when she's visiting and she feels responsible for cleaning up after us.

Rejection in its finest form.Last Friday afternoon I attempted to scope out this beauty:Beautiful? Don't you think? Too bad it was completely covered in poison ivy and brush.The picture above shows the driveway (& only entrance) to this home. This property sits really close to our mall in Lancaster, PA.

Last week, while I was visiting that same certain someone, I stopped to photograph this house.I'm so glad I did....

Combining two of my favorite things... surfing and hotdogs! It's like a dream-come-true. This is a recent watercolor painting by artist, Colleen Coover. Wouldn't you like the meet the person who commissioned Colleen to paint this?3.) Holy moly. These tea cups are spectacular. I'm a tea cup collector. These intricate hand made cups and saucers by Herend sell for about $5,000. Yes. That comma is meant...

It's midnight and I'm thinking of sneaking downstairs for a midnight snack. I bet I'd be more likely to enjoy a nice snack if I had a pretty area to snack in. These dining rooms fit the bill (and have lots to spare!):Pretty, sweet, dining rooms! Someday in my future house... hopefully.
