[...] So for today, I would have had to learn about Sirius XM Radio, cutting back perennials, and winterizing beehives. Better luck [...]

Thanks, Em! I would say the same about you! That romantic design you did the other week took my breath away with its blue and jewel tones.

Hehehe, isn’t the lobster knocker the best? I was wondering if anyone would pick up on it. Of course you did, my dear. That is my Philadelphia house. It came with the house when we bought it (I was pretty much “sold” at the front door, as you might imagine). I’d show you a peek inside, but it’s not very, um, er, tidy, always. Once my “double life” is done, I hope to do the inside justice to match the outside charm. Then you’re more than welcome to take a look inside!

Oh my god, that wreath with the lobster knocker is my favorite image of the week! That can’t be your dorm at Longwood. If that’s what the outside of your house looks like, I would love a peek inside!

You’re too kind. Thank you!

The only training in writing I’ve received has come from the standard-issue, required college courses [even though I was a music major] and (moreso) from having the good fortune to read really good books written by inspired people. As a kid, I enjoyed stringing ideas together into a story and I fancied myself a novelist, though I’ve never managed to build a story large and complex enough to fill a book. Maybe someday, though.

And, on the subject, your writing is excellent TOO! After all, I don’t just keep coming back for the pictures! (though they’re terrific, too)

Yet again, your eloquent prose has hit the proverbial nail on the head, Jason. Really, where did you learn to write like this? That last line really tickles my fancy. It’s so true!

Haha, I read that book too! And loved it! It’s indeed inspirational and realistic. I just hope I don’t break my leg somewhere along the way of getting my growing operations established.
