Hi!  I'm Kirby and I blog over at Kirb Appeal, where I am mostly just ridiculous.  I have been blogging for a looooong time...back when I looked like this:

But it has just been in the past two or three years that anyone other than my two home-town friends have read the blog.  I really enjoy getting ideas from other bloggers, but I believe it's the friendships that are the best part of blogging!

I am a high school English teacher, but in order to have a retirement "activity," my partner-in-crime for the past 32 years (DL) and I purchased a cottage ("Brandywine" --it came with a name, fercryin' outloud)  in need of a complete renovation.  He also bought the contents of a bankrupt furniture factory and he is storing all the wood in case every tree in America dies at the same time.  In which case, he will hold all the power.

Things I like: Charles Dickens
                        Mod Podge
                        

                         Refreshments
                         Traveling


                       

painting furniture

                       



Things I love: Downton Abbey
                          My sweet DL...
                           ...And of course my family who doesn't love it when I write about them.

Things I am not crazy about?         
                               The fact that I don't  have like a hundred companies wanting to send me free stuff to try like wine or beer or paintbrushes.  Or a car.  Or maybe big diamonds.  I'd like to try their big diamonds for them and let them know if I like those particular big diamonds.

Anyway, I want to thank the lovely Kris and her awesome white house for inviting me to share.  If you ever need to get a dose of ridiculousness, feel free to visit me at Kirb Appeal!  We have a lot of fun over there, mostly.
