Not ONLY to our house, but you get the idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ms. G is jealous of your friend with the amazing collection. I don&#039;t think she&#039;s ever known anyone with a bigger or better one....until now! LOL about paying high prices for things that are less than 4&quot; tall. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] : Thanks as always for your wonderfully articulated kindness. A couple of funny stories to show you how perceptive you are: During a tour of the Iowa Governor&#039;s mansion I started telling the group about the architect of the house and who made the furniture in the parlor. After that, the docent gave me the hand mic and had me lead the tour. Same thing happened in Atlanta. The docent asked the group if anyone knew who had carved the woodwork in the library of this huge early 20th century mansion. I said &quot;Grinling Gibbons&quot; and he said I was the first person in 10 years to get that right. So every time we left a room, the docent looked at me and asked if he had left anything out, ha ha.</p><p><br /></p><p>All this is to show you how smart you are. I&#039;d love to be a docent, but unfortunately the pay is pretty bad, if there is any.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=51]@Lucille.b[/USER] and [USER=141]@pearlsnblume[/USER] :Thanks!! We strive for peace in our home, given the nature of the outside world. And despite Ellie&#039;s best efforts, we usually have it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=31]@Bookahtoo[/USER] : Not really. We usually buy things because one of us feels that something is a &quot;must.&quot; So we make room for it, sometimes moving 3, 4, or 5 things around until we achieve equilibrium. Actually, that is usually at least half the fun. And....there are sometimes things that we MUST HAVE. With those things we must MAKE ROOM, even if we have to sell something. Fortunately, that only happens once or twice a year these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
