How To Cook Tender, Chewy Wheat Berries on the Stovetop Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

i was thinking about this last week, when i saw my sister had bought another new bed for her 12 year old, the broken one in the garage. i think that kid has had 5 beds in her life, my sister always buys cheap stuff (target, ikea) and it falls apart when financially she could spend a more. i often point her to promising ads on craigslist for adorable girly beds and suites like the kid wants, but she never bites.

my sister and i slept on the same bed from first grade through 12th, one reason because of finances, but also because my parents bought good quality bunks that lasted through jumpy kids. my brothers' beds also lasted for years and that old Roy Rogers bunk bed was sold a few years ago to a neighbor for her kids. still going strong from the 1960s.
but no one ever listens to me.

names like "Major" to me are a southern thing. growing up i've known several people named Major, Sargent, King, Prince, Princess, Duke. mostly people now over 60 or so. in virginia there was a political family whose sons were named Sargent and Major, and my mom's college yearbook from the 60's (tennessee) had a Princess Dixie and a Prince Donavan.

maybe because the house is open on one side makes it a doll house.

I don't. care about deer heads one way or the other. but the be nice or be quiet mentality has hampered discussion on this site so much so that I find myself reading the comments much less often. I don't. think any of the homeowners break into tears because someone dislikes their decor.

yeah, i was about to turn my nose up at another vintage bath renovation but this is a pleasant surprise. bookmarking this one to keep in mind for my future plans. i like the brass fixtures and weathered wood tones on the vanity, the marble?? sink top. i was just checking out black penny round floors the other day, this will go along with my inspiration folder.

the expression "easter gifts" makes me sad. Four or five years ago i noticed a Target sale paper announcing "Easter gifts" for sale, jewelry, small electronics, cologne, et cetera. What does Easter have to do with gifts? I was never hip to the Easter bunny and have never bought baskets and candy for the kids. it's another manufactured gift grab in the mom/dad/grad cycle.

this feels like a thinly-veiled ad to promote cool cell phone cases.
