Paging Franksolich
« on: September 17, 2008, 04:33:41 PM »
My errands after I got out of class today included picking up some cheesecake for my family that's in town.

Anywho, the bakery is in a part of the city that I rarely drive through.  After I picked up my treats, I pulled out of the parking lot and across the street saw something that made me think of you, smile and pull my car in for a picture. 






And mine wasn't the only car in the parking lot with an Obama bumper sticker, so there was probably indeed a few primitives inside.  :wink:

Right.

By the way, "Antique Marketplace" seems like the sort of place where I'd be buying my hand tools and kitchen appliances if I was down in that area.

I've never been in that antique store, but it's a large building so probably a big inventory.  I should go and have a look one Saturday.

A sign on a coffee shop in Gatlinburg, Tennessee...


I didn't go in because I had PMS and we all know that would have just ended badly.

No, it was because your brother was with you.

How is that hand-coffee grinder working BTW?

I've used it like only three times.

Not fully familiar with coffee-grinders, it looks to me as if it does the job, grinding big beans into little ones.

The ancient elderly gentleman who used to mow the lawn here and his wife were cleaning out their home in town, and brought over some stuff they wished to keep, but not there.  It's pretty much a reasonable conclusion that they (or their children) are going to end up with the property sooner or later, and there is lots and lots of room here, so no problem.

I put a treadle Singer sewing-machine in one of the bedrooms; it had been purchased in 1891, so I assume it was made that year, or perhaps 1890 or 1889.  It's been fun to play with, even though I have no idea what I'm doing with it.

In case this gets by people examining photographs of families standing in front of their homes (sod or wooden) in Nebraska circa 1870-1910, there's oftentimes a Singer sewing machine in the picture too.  Whenever a horse-and-wagon itinerant photographer passed by, and took such a picture for the family, they always wanted their most important possession in it too, and so dragged the sewing machine outside.  Also, surprisingly, a lot of parakeets, parrots, and canaries in ornate cages.
