Sad Day for Me, Sam, and LuLu
Our Bear passed on from this world to the next today. We have cherished every day of the 13 years Bear has lived with us. He was such a sweet boy. He collapsed when we arrived at the park for our walk. I rushed him to the nearest vet and they suspected something burst internally. After a test to confirm the worst they discouraged any heroic measures due to his age. I brought my boy home and waited for Sam to arrive from work. He died in my arms in 3o minutes. We all want to go that quick. Bear lived the good life up to the last minute. We love our Bear Bear!

Derby Hats with a Past
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Robbie in Pink Rose Vintage Hat
So Sad that it is raining on all Derby Plans today. But we are a hearty bunch and the celebration goes on with or without rain. My store will be open today 11-4.
Get Your Pink On this Friday for the Kentucky Oaks Pink Out. Churchill Downs will donate one dollar for every person who attends. This vintage hat would look perfect on someone else to "Think Pink"@ The Oaks.
Also that night Mellwood Arts Center has the FAT Friday Trolley Hop. Great thing to do with your out of town guests. I will be serving my famous wine spritzer. Known thruout the land.

Shorty's / Washington, PA
It has become tradition that we go to Shorty's to get Hot Dogs and French Fries and Gravy (FF&G) Peggy and Marie have been regulars for most of Shorty's 50 years.
FF&G must be a PA treat because the first time I remember having this combo was on spring vacation visiting Marianne Crissy's home of Lehighten PA.

The Gas Incident
If you have just traveled 4 days across the country you know remote areas that do not have gas stations at every exit. In fact it could be miles and miles before an exit.
So we feared we would run out of gas. At first we filled it when we still had a half tank. However, as time goes by....
Just two hours from our final destination, Washington PA, the car acted funny... Marie pulled to the side of the road and looked at the fuel gage. After we quit laughing....we called AAA. It is somewhat difficult to have AAA find you when you don't know where you are. Important to know that it can be done. We counted on Bak to know our mile marker but he was asleep on the job.
Our man Jack came with gas.

Traveling Companions Marie and Bak
Man on horse, Unknown. Marie standing. Bak sitting next to Marie
Bak is a Giant Schnauzer but everyone thought he was a Portuquese Water Dog.
Bak loved the dog friendly hotels and rest areas. Never met a stranger and thought the world wanted to pet him. Which most did.
The metal buffalo roam in Idaho. Who knew?

Spring Fling / Cross Country Road Trip
Spring has sprung in New Albany,IN where flowers grow tall. Kent stands next to the plant so you can see it's over size. Made of metal never needs watering. Perfect for my yard!
Tomorrow I embark on a Spring Fling. A cross country trip with my long lost Aunt Marie Day Moriarty. We lost eachother for 30 years but have caught up recently. I fly to Portland,OR and the road trip begins. We wind up in Pittsburg,PA. Looking forward to lots of fun and stories to tell. I just hope some of them are printable:) Happy Spring! Be back in a week!!

Bear Gets Ready for Derby
He is not sure that Periwinkle is the right choice. As you know by now everything looks so good on the Bear.
We are celebrating today. I managed to pay my Ohio Sales Tax online. My Tax Pro said it was too time consuming for them and said I would have to do it!!!! OMG they know how tecnology challenged I am.
Alas...after two days of getting part of the forms done I was able to talk to a human who said I was doing it right. I asked what senior citizens were doing now that it is mandantory to E-file. She said they are opting out. Damn didn't know that was an option.

Kentucky Derby
The Derby is 4 weeks away. It is all about the hat! The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft on Main Street next to the Louisville Science Center have some wonderful one of a kind hats!
Acessories are the best part of the Derby for me. I have a good selection of "Hats with a Past" in my store. Last year we hat...oops... had lots of tourists at Mellwood and once they hit town.... hats and jewelry were mandantory. Mellwood Arts Center Courtyard Stores have all you need to "pimp out" your Derby Look.
