A Great Philosophy


I love cartoons and I am always cutting them out. I don't know what I plan to do with them but I am still young so I will make a decision some time. Maybe I will just scotch tape them in a lined spiral notebook. As for now, I will just share them with all of you. I used to pound nails everywhere and women would ask me how I got Lyle's permission to do that. Hmmmmm....Never did fully understand that "permission" thing. Actually, I don't think he ever minded it. In fact, at one point, in our Edgerton home, I was so tired of plain doors that when I found an old white door on the curb in Pipestone during the days Pipestonians could put junk on the curb, folks like me could go through it before the garbage trucks took it to the final resting place. (Now that could be a story itself! I smile as I recall it!) Lyle drilled four holes in the closet door of the den and mounted my old door onto the existing door. I loved it. When we put the house up for sale, Lyle simply filled the bolt size holes and we painted the door. That's why we keep left-over paint. So gals, pound away until the wall decor makes you happy!

I have searched for a photo of my door and could only find the above two. These date back to the early 2000s. Why didn't I take photos of the house before we sold it? What I really loved about the old door is that it had an old window (old being a given since you can see it is an old door) in which I put either a photo or a piece of an old quilt. I loved it! So right now, go get your camera and photograph your house, PLEASE! Trust me, someday you will be glad you did!!
