Double Barrel Lover

Published by Rhetorical Redhead on December 13, 2014

Finally. My sweet readers, I thank you for your patience while I was ill for 3 weeks. I’m happy as a lark to finally have time to sit and type out all the work that has piled up in my notebook, and blessed to have the space to do so. #archivecoffeeandbar My deepest thanks to you all for humoring me since Day One. I know I say this a lot, but I must MUST emphasize that each and every one of you are a gift, and I am grateful for your support! Loves and more loves! ❤ Happy weekending! ❤

“It’s FrrrAHNk-ehn-SCHTEEN!” I’m elated at how this turned out, aesthetically. I even love the accidental smudge.

An Office Tale

Storytime. Boss goes to Lowe’s. Finds canvas print in clearance bin for $1.57. Buys it for me. Doesn’t remove the price tag. Returns to office. Hands it to me. I laugh and thank him for his immense generosity. We hang it up on the wall. We stand back and look at it………….I break the silence, “Soooo, I’m not sure how to handle the fact that you basically bought me a metaphor of my life. And then hung it up for me to stare at every day while I’m here in this place….Not really sure what kind of message you’re trying…
