My long time friend from Michigan wrote to me today. She is probably the only person in the state without a computer and no desire to have one. She actually likes to sit there and write in longhand.
Know anyone like that?
I didn't think so.
Patti lives on the outskirts of town in a house taken from the pages of Victoria magazine. She has done everything herself, and her husband Ern has done the woodwork. Ern is so talented in wood. The lifesize horses he has carved! Oh stop me please. He is just outstanding.
Patti is no slouch either. She knows more about Victoriana than anyone I know. She can take something and turn it into antebellum. Here's her new project. She bought an old beat up motor home and has turned it into "Aunt PittyPats Pretty Camper Rose Cottage"... complete with three chandeliers, lace curtains, and roses galore! She has a little porch on it and has painted it inside and out. Putting her Patti touch on it.
It doesn't run. It isn't supposed to. Its mission in life is to sit there in the yard and be a gracious little getaway, so to speak. To sit in the evening cool, listening to the grasshoppers and the swaying trees, to watch the sunset and feel the breeze on your face, to let the day's worries waft away.
Good work Patti, my hat's off to you.

Enjoyed your blog. I may have to do one, one of these days...lol Would love to see a photo of Aunt Pitty Pats Camper. I have one in my backyard also and I'm about to do some redecorating. Mine does occasionally move though.
Keep up the great work.
