chocolatepotMy mom and step-father had a box of their stuff stolen at the county fair. :( She had won first prize for a painting of my grandmother based on an elementary school photo and gotten a $100 check, and Ron's notes from days of forestry fieldwork were in it, and, most importantly for the theft, probably, the narcotic pain meds he's still taking from when he almost cut his fingers off last fall. Mom is very pissed off, because Ron set the box down and walked away from it to find the car last night when the parking lot was full of people after the country/western concert. I don't quite get why he thought that was a good idea, but he did.
1867 fashion post is coming along well, and it's very interesting. I just haven't really thought to look in-depth at that period before ... although now that I have, I ended up buying the 1867 Peterson's on eBay. I didn't mean to! But I have the 1866 and 1868, so I just went browsing and I found it listed at $100 obo. I offered $50, thinking they'd turn me down, and they accepted. And I'd thought they'd find that a lowball given what they had it listed for! Next time I'll try $40. No, no next time! I only have about $2000 in the world and I need to get two new tires, mine have slow leaks.
Oh, good, it's raining now. Time to sew.
