Men seem to have a problem with Ikea furniture I guess because it has to be built.... All I ever hear when I'm shopping at the store is... "Well....it's good for a dorm room....But I Wouldn't put it in my House".... Let's discuss this..... This is my Guest Bedroom on the first floor and most of the furnishings in it is from Ikea..... The bed is not.....the exact matching bedside lamps....Ikea...I think I paid under $20 each for both the lamp and the shade.... the large print on canvas above the bed was bought for $49.00... night tables under $100. Each...they have great yellow and white  Striped Wallpaper in the drawers... The white metal tray was $9.99 Don't you love those tea cups... Those were a promotional offer from Bailey's... The striped pillows were used before..... A print on the backside...I just turned them Over... My little Terrier Collection...Most found At Scott's Antique Market here in The Atl.... That wonderfu...

Let me make that statement clearer..... the piano is on loan.... A gift to daughter while she was married....... she got to keep it in the divorce settlement....NYC apartments not being size appropriate for such a large instrument........ it was confiscated by the gift-giving parents... Which would be us.... Daughter thought it would be carefully stored in our basement.....Wrong.....first it cost a small fortune to have the thing delivered to Georgia and they charge according to how many steps they have to carry it up or down....so there way no way it was going down 18 steps.... Plus it's beautiful....I wasn't about to put it in the basement.... When it resided at the Princeton Homestead the ex-sil refused to have the top raised up....dust? I don't know his reasoning.....It's meant to have the top raised... That is what a feather duster was made for.... When deciding where it was going to go we agonized for the two months it was in transit.......... It was the...

My week in NYC started out with a Fashion Show.... Sophie is seen here channeling Roy Orbison...... she always has on sunglasses.... Me and B went to the I-Hop out in Jersey...... The waitress was shocked that "B" actually ate all of the pancake.....with a side of bacon... She commented that kids never eat what they order... A shining testimonial to the I-Hop food... back in the city it was Bunny cake making..... I tried my hand at dying shelled eggs..... the color came good and who doesn't love a good deviled egg....but I was a little heavy handed with the paprika... I don't know what I was thinking..... "B" spent Easter with her father so me and daughter hogged the Bunny at Brunch at Brasserie 8 1/2...... A sampling of the dessert buffet...... the lemon tart was a winner....everything else.... not very good.... They did have a wide array of food....but in typical "this always happens to us"....the place was maybe 1/4 f...

I don't think a Happy Blogger should ever Vent..... You come here to maybe get a laugh or just smile about one of my crazy antics....But every now and then Sue likes to complain about one thing or another....Well...maybe more then just now and then.....but regardless....The time has come to Vent Big Time about the Wonderful City of New York and it's "Mayor's Office on Disability"..... To which I have had my first and probably final encounter... Who does this Office discriminate against your wondering??? Disabled People that's who......  Let me be clearer....Disabled People who are not New Yorkers......Visiting Disabled People.... Of which I am one...Have been since 1993....some of you are aware of it most of you are not.... I am one of "Those People" that use a Handicap Tag When I park even though I may look 100% Fine.... I am Not.....and I know there are a lot of other people out there with the same problem.... Anyhoo....on to Mr. Bloomberg's ...
