Gotta get caught up on the thread today, but love both that gorgeous Becker bent brandy, and Molly.Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and green beans dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm almost a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 FVF in a much cherished smooth, brown straight grain three quarter bend 1979 Becker M 4 heart brandy with a black acrylic saddle stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Molly Danger came out a couple of hours ago, and has been very persistent about wanting my attention ever since I finished dinner. Except for Harry the Hairy who has been snoozin' out of Molly's sight, the others are outside.

Here in Wisconsin you can still let your kids have a beer and take them to a bar tavernHamm’s can used to be barrel shaped. My grandfather cut the top off turned them into cups. At age 13 we could drink beer at family functions. For the pearl clutches I’m 62. That was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away
