Hi there! Hope you had a very Meowy Catmus! Santa Claws was good to me this year. I got two new toys to play with so I am happy. Hope your New Year turns out to be Purrfect for you! ~ Robert

Today I thought I'd share with you some photos of an old car that Daddy took at a farm near where we live. There are a lot of these old treasures dotting groves near farmsteads along the countryside here in Northwest Iowa.
So, anyway, thought I'd share this little blast from the past with you. Hope you have a delightful day! ~ Robert
The picture on the floor next to the church pew is of Mommy and Daddy in Lake Tahoe right before they boarded the Tahoe Queen boat to go cruising around the lake on. See a close-up of the photo below ... As you can see, it was a windy day ...
Enjoy your day and thanks again for stopping by. Check back again soon for more updates ...
Hi there! Today I thought I'd share with you some photos of the sofa Mommy got at an estate auction recently. It is very cozy and comfy. I think it is a really good napping couch, myself.
The skies are bright and sunny on this first day of November. I'm planning on basking in the sun on the formal living room love seat, and occasionally watching birds play in the front yard from my inside window perch. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! ~ Robert
This lovely antique hutch is ornate and has interesting detail to it. Now it is temporarily stored in the breezeway, but will relocate to its more permanent location in the new sun room that Daddy and Mommy will be adding to our house in the spring of 2010.
Detail molding at the top and painted accents add class to the hutch, as seen in the photos above and below ...
The handles on the drawers also add a nice touch with their unique detail. You can also see the painted accents better in the photo above. The combination is visually very stunning.
