Sal wanted a picture of the inside

engaged
Eleven years ago today, Sal asked
me to marry him. He wanted to give me a ring with a much bigger diamond, but
this is the one I wanted. He worried people would think he was cheap.

street name
The office manager put up these
"street signs" along the cubicle corridors to help everyone find their way
around. The "streets" are named after various people in the office. This is
mine.

vintage paris
I found this photo-to-canvas
transfer print on Ebay for a terrific price and had to have it for my new
office. I had to stretch it on a canvas frame myself, which I guess explains the
price.

pink & yellow
It's been raining her a lot, which
I actually love, but a little color is nice now and then. All that rain will
lead to these tulips, among other things, in the
spring.

frosty the snowman
We won this charming Frosty at a
