Good day! It is a little gray and cold out but all is pretty good her in Chester County, PA I was talking to a gentleman last evening who was telling me how much better it is to be able to sleep in a car rather than on the sidewalk and it brought me up short. Well-spoken with a PhD, he fell on bad times and found himself homeless. He recounted this part of his life without emotion and later hummed Tom Petty continually. I then asked him if he heard Tom Petty's annual Holiday single as I too hum and may also be a little bit craaaazzeee! and he nodded in the affirmative. He then explained that he hummed to keep from going crazy. Hum away, man. Whatever it takes! I then went home to my heated home and all of my housemates and thanked God for my blessings. Many young men bless this particular outfit as on this day in 1851 the first Young Man's Christian Association in North America was established in Montreal, Quebec. They offered safe housing and a new beginning to men living in squalor and are still in full swing today. My dear friend has asked me to faux a reproduction sofa frame and choose a chenille for it. I'm thinking neutrals and will take a photo when all is said and done. I was on a search for the perfect bar stools several blogs back and guess what! The universe again brought something full circle. The client pulled up to my shop with a bar stool that looked oddly familiar...I had sold the bar stools to her Mom and Dad many years ago. They need to be reupholstered and I will do something to the wood legs, but structurally and scale wise they are perfect. Isn't that fun? I don't know what today has in store for me as most of us don't, but I wish everyone a great one...whatever happens. Have a great day! Be thankful for all that you have and think of the Village People who may not have been a hit in the 70's without the YMCA.
