It's a trendy/vintage/cowgirl/boho chic kinda place. I'm also gonna offer custom leather work as well. Please help! I've got my brain in knots tryin to come up with one.

It's Sunday afternoon, October 28 and I'm back after a great trip. Flea-bitten and worn out but it was wonderful. Loved your comments! Thanks to those of you who helped liven things up in my absence!

I'll have to dig my copy of Everyday Life in the 1800's out and read through it again. By the way, I did recognize a couple of those sayings! :) Have a great trip! This is too funny.

My straight-laced Dad meet a man at midnight to get blackmarket conversion of $200 travelers' checks to pay extra to leave country early! Horse & coyote describes my husband & I- we thought we were so alike when we first met and are NOT! Heard "...witch's tit" and variation: leftover's is "sucking hind tit" (of a sow-female pig.) Mary, love your familiar additions! (knew all but 10-30) and Taryn's list as well. Must be a Midwest thang. Linda- Widow woman-- LOL! Elizabeth- Just found a TREASURE trove at my local booksellers: 7 of your books, 2 of Charlene's AND 6 of Chery StJohn's, including TWO I didn't have! My nickname is holding TRUE!

Good grief, Elizabeth. Peru! Hope you have a great time. :o) Okay, back to the list. How about... -- uglier than a mud fence -- He's so full of hot air, he could blow up an onion sack. And my personal favorite... -- uglier than I was that dry year (here in eastern Ky., I heard this last one often when I was a child. Have never figured out exactly what it meant. :o) Great list! Good grief, Elizabeth. Peru! Hope you have a great time. :o )
