Home Decor
Lydia, kids, and I visited the largest furniture emporium in the mid-Atlantic region. I wanted various items likely to make my crazy ghetto domicile more habitable. An item which I did not buy, but which lingers in memory as a good thing was a painting of pansies. Loved it in the store, but doubted it had much longevity over a sofa...too slick. Since then I have thought about what might be a good idea over the dining room sofa. The room has pale beige carpet, a round antique oak table, and a deep red sofa. Also, this is the location of the bigger TV and video game things. What could go on the wall over that sofa and be so wonderful that I might not tire of looking at it?
OK. Here's what I think...if I purchase a poster-sized version of this photo from Shutterfly, frame and hang it, I could enjoy it forever. Lydia took this picture at the playground the other day. Yes, Sadie played in a lovely long dress; Sadie is Lydia's little Barbie doll-child. Sadie, in the picture, twiddles her ears with both hands, an unconscious signal to Mommy that baby needs a nap.
