I have a "thing" for lamps. <br /><br />That is one of the reasons I love living in an old house...all the unusual little things that you would never find in a new home. I need to take pictures of the ornate hinges in our house. You never see them but they are awesome!Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012163754907975057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-1536339896040790452011-01-28T17:14:56.150-05:002011-01-28T17:14:56.150-05:00Cluck, Cluck, Big Chickie.

I am smiling about your rooster that is masquerading as a chicken...and your Build-Your-Own lamp purchase...and your little jiggy knob. I am NOT smiling to hear that your Dad has been ill again. I know how very hard that is..many of us have walked that path...and it does get harder as the years pass. I assume your little illness kept you sitting a bit? Glad you are better. This was a wonderful random post!

Since I can't get away much every time someone comes to visit I hope they brought me something to eat. Sometimes they do. But not enough to suit me.
