She decided we needed to swap couches between a couple of rooms.
Now our living room, with the stone, glass and warm wood tones, captures that vintage mcm look...
...like you're ready to sit down and watch Leave It To Beaver...
...on your new 1959 GE Slimline TV.
And the white wraparound couch - formerly a resident of our living room - makes the TV room a well defined, cozy and functional space...
...not just a shortcut on your way to the kitchen.
Plus, the marshmallow couch helps it retain a mid century modern flavor.
Not that my opinion matters much, but I really like it.
Sad to say...
...winter hath returned and...
...I could spit.
But looking on the bright side, here's the official <Countdown to Spring!>.
Until then, "winter, slumbering in the open air, wears on his smiling face a dream of spring!"
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Over Christmas one of my grandsons brought his guitar with him to our place because he thought I played cigar box guitar.
I gather he hoped we might jam a little bit.
While it's true I have picked and grinned on both traditional 6 string guitar and 3 string cbg, it's even truer that the sum total of my musical talent fits comfortably in a thimble with room to spare.
Thus I've given away every guitar, cigar box or otherwise, I've ever owned, freeing them from the tyranny of my ham handed efforts.
But I do like cbg's, especially when played by someone who actually knows what they're doing:
It's a legitimate instrument, especially for delta blues and the like.
My grandson clearly has some musical talent, so I bought him one...
...which I plan to deliver as soon as he and his fam return from a trip to Florida.
Hoping next time we get together he'll treat us to some bluesy slide guitar solos.
I believe it's time to...

It's official...the holidays are over, and we're now into the long slow slog through winter.
O joy.
This requires patient endurance, rewarded when we finally reach everyone's favorite season, Hickory Golf Spring.
The same is true in our spiritual lives:
Patience, grasshopper(s).
