He's Still There and He's Still Naked...

Maybe it wasn't the best link I gave you last time. But imagine my initial suprise when I am cruising through "Corners" looking at the cute decor at Posy's, cushy pillows from Plump Pudding, the cosy patterns and colours at Pixiegennes when *BAM* it hits ya! Naked Guy. Naked Guy in a ladies blue see through robe thingy. With his bits and pieces for all the little ladies that cruise "Corners of my Home" to see. Don't get me wrong, I am not a prude. I just find it terribly offensive that it is on that site. It I wanted porn, I would go to porn. I don't want porn or to check out someone's twig and berries while I'm looking to get excited by chintz and ticking.

Perhaps Flickr never received my email regarding Naked Guy. Or the "Report Abuse" note sent oh, a week ago? Uuuurrrrrrrr!!!

Disgusting Flickr Corners

Can anyone tell me why there is a naked man on the Flickr "Corners of my Home"? Why was this not vetted by the administrators? Am I the only one that finds this "disagreeable"?

Does anyone know where


to get one of these in North America? All the sellers come from the UK. Dying for one, please help a cute retro rose thermos/flask lover...

Preparing




For yet another party. DN1 is turning eighteen. Of course I am shocked. I don't know quite how this happened but it did. You know the old cliche "Where did the time go?", well it is true. She starts university in September, taking Sociology. Apparently, she was 1 of 83 accepted out of over 1800 applicants. Impressive for a kid that saw the inside of the VP's office more than she did a classroom (but it was never her fault). And she graduated with honours. Go figure. So, on Sunday, I am having 25 or so of our closest and dearest for a little graduation/birthday party for her. The problem is there is repairs that have needed doing all summer and my contractor/carpenter guy is AWOL. Why are they so hard to nail down (excuse the pun)? Hence the broken cupboard door.

The second picture is my "quick fix people are coming over and I simply must do something" repair. I do hope it will suffice.
Vacation was lovely. Beach, shopping, reading, knitting. And perfect weather. Quite heavenly and much needed. But it was also the first we have taken without DN1. She went to Cuba with friends and I missed her horribly. Is this the start of separate vacations?

We also have the wedding coming up on September 1. I need more time.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer.

Away on Vacation


For those that have been emailing me, please accept my apologies for not replying as it is difficult for me to gain internet access.
I will return August 11.
In the meantime, help me to figure out what to do with all the blue and white transferware now that I have placed the red transferware in its spot.
