Bretty's Bistro



We have not set down to a decent meal together since Sunday. Between his harvesting and my grandfather in the hospital we've barely laid eyes on each other..... and he still looks pretty dam good in my book.



His meal of choice....



Bacon cheese burgers............ 1/2 -3/4 of a pound of Iowa's best ground chuck grilled to perfection topped with American cheese served on a bakery fresh Kaiser roll with plenty of crispy bacon and sliced onions.



a joy in every bite of Iowa's best meat and produce. (those are my home made lime pickles too!)



Besides.... I and with the dogs help have to keep JD a bit distracted so he doesn't notice a few Expenditures I have made lately.



I found matching cut and polished porforia stone candle holders with hand dipped Danish candles for out in my kitchen on the table.



With the kitchen so nice we couldn't be walking into a dining room with a crappy old rug... So I began haggling with a local store for this Turkish beauty. He couldn't fool me I know he'd had it in his store for several years. We finally came to a mutually agreeable arrangement.



and it adorns our floor now. JD just hasn't seen the credit card statement yet.....



But Thor loves is silky rich pile to lay on.



Heidi thinks the pattern is a bit busy but she can live with it.

A SIDE NOTE

This Pamala Gladding print I'd ordered off the net came while the kitchen was a MESS and got forgotten out in it's box in the garage.... It is now finally hung up in the north central guest room. Pamala decorated Harpsichords, as well as, does framed works. I really enjoy her style. I have other pieces of her artistry on display too.

Both the kitchen & dining room look great - love the new rug and candle holders - you have good taste. --note to self-- research lime pickle recipe.

I have managed to make the house as much mine as it is his. He pretty much just does the yep that's fine bit but every now and then I do inspire him into a legitimate conversation. Remind me next summer when fresh cucumbers are available and I will post the lime pickle making process with pics.

I have tried to maintain that degree of elegance softening it with my colors, textures and fabrics to make it our home now.
