It was our Anniversary last weekend so we went up to Kansas City as we heard they have some of the
country's best antique stores. We were looking for a real wood dresser and we found this one for a very good price. It was made April 14
th, 1950 in Nashville, TN. It is solid Appalachian Beech and is patterned after the French Provincial-Circa 1750. The reason we know that is it had the original brochure that came with the furniture explaining the Louis XV design, care of the wood and construction method. It is our first real piece of furniture we have ever bought together. I imagine some war vet and his bride purchased this shortly after they were married. After a life time the kids probably said sell everything in grandma's house, so it wound up at this store we found it. If God gives us 50 years more then maybe it will be found at another antique store by some recently married couple who just finished remodeling a house on a long summer vacation who will begin purchasing furniture for the house. In turn they will blog or whatever they do then about this 110 year old dresser they found the other day in Paris, France that was made in Nashville, TN. Wait you maybe thinking why would the dresser be found in Paris, France? Are they moving to another country after the summer vacation in Missouri? No, I just was writing that to get your goat.
lol
The past two months I have been using my wife as a model for some of my watercolor paintings.
All the paintings are entitled "Lucky Dog."
I am the luckiest dog of all however as I get to be in the same bed with her every night and these dogs are just made up.

This past weekend we went to Arkansas to vist War Eagle Mill. We purchase our organic flours from them on line and we wanted to see the old mill where they actually grind everything.
You can check the place out at http://www.wareaglemill.com/
I think if you buy $70 of stuff you get free shipping. The nice thing is, it's all organic and no GMO.
