Here in Frederick

on
While Joe was here we found a cool store in town, Great Stuff by Paul. It seems that Paul buys stuff in bulk that previous owners found not so great. Can he really claim authorship, though?







This last lot are sap buckets, and above that are English dance hall chairs and Dutch dough troughs. Joe and I got as far as picking out some chairs ($35 each), but we couldn't find four without names carved into them.

That's so great. I left my Dutch dough trough on the bench in the locker room at the gym by mistake and when I checked back it was gone. No surprise there. You can image what a pickle I've been ever since, without one and all.

Then I tried to take my sap buckets through security at the airport and they took them away and stored them with the manicure sets, bowling pins, acupuncture needles, tie tacs, can openers, hood ornaments and other dangerous objects they've collected, so I could really use a new set.

As for the chairs, you could either find two with Joe and Cait carved in them, or just get some with interesting names and make up stories about the people. Only those who read this blog will know the truth, and we promise not to tell.

or ADD some initials and make up really interesting stories. Come on, haven't you always wanted to carve something into a chair or a desktop, or a table, or a tree, or whatever?

Of course, one would never do such a thing in a National Park, or a School, or any such Official Place. Right?

Whatever IS a "dutch trough?"
