- from David Naylor - First let me say I enjoy your blog. You're a great observer and communicator.
My first reaction to your kitchen counter post was, "Wow, we don't have anything on ours." So I went to look. Here's what I found:
A ball of twine, tube of lipstick, an iPod adapter, two letters, a floor plan of Riverdale HS, 6 drawer knobs and a paintbrush, three garden tomatoes and an onion, an ivy start, a plumber's phone number, two to-do lists, one cell phone, a colander and saucepan drying, a Yahtzee game, a wedding announcement and a pack of microwave popcorn.
Interesting life snapshot, yes! Thanks for the prompt.
Laurie, you make me SO happy.
And your post put me in mind of a British artist, Emily Patrick, whose paintings are of the sort of commonplace things you wrote about. emilypatrick.com
