Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Ah, I am sure that our Laura never thought she would be in an vote… but then… here she is! It is quite an honor to make it to become a FINALIST and everyone in the family is so proud. Her BLOG is really a good one… even if we are a little biased.
So, if you could take a moment and add your support by voting for Laura for Best Blog! It would be a kind thing to do.

Well… the “platform bed” project is finished… all but the final lacquer and whatever else I am tasked to do.
I did place our “Latex” mattress on it last night and it was blissful! Why is it that sleeping on Latex mattresses is sooo wonderful, but moving them is a real pain? I have moved both mine and Kristin’s latex Kings and barely survived (We took Kristin’s up three flights of stairs). Karen has a queen and her movers had very few nice or polite words about moving it. These mattresses are heavy, awkward and tough to grab.
When we traveled to Tennessee a month ago with Karen’s stuff, her apartment wasn’t quite ready yet. So, we stored her belongings in her garage and arranged for movers to haul it from the garage into her apartment when she arrived. Laura warned them that I had packed it for my needs… she gave the example of ‘a garment box full of National Geographics.’ I guess they didn’t believe her and struggled all day.
Anyway, I love sleeping on a latex bed… My feelings about moving them is another question entirely.

Latex Mattresses are rather expensive ($2000 top end)… but then, what is your sleep worth?
