I used to have an Edison-Mazda print of romanticized prehistoric figures around a campfire --from Maxfield Parrish-- but alas, lost it moving house 40 years ago.

I think I've mentioned it before, but I'm seriously besotted with your antique desk. <br />Dusting is just a close second to my most-hated household chore (mopping).

When others see a large house they tend to think" oh that house is so beautiful!".. not me- I think "how in the h**l would I ever get such a house dusted?? Crazy, huh?
