Daydreaming Chasing.


One day, I'll have a Villa in Tuscany, something like the Italian version of Vicki Archer's life.
I've got a grand vision for a Great Room,
painted green,
with unfinished wood floors,
Italian-yard-sale-like treasures all around,
stacks and stacks of books,
an incongruent chandelier,
3-too-many comfortable throw pillows, a record player,
pieces of old barn wood repurposed into a mantlepiece, lined with old dusty bottles
(the homes of poppies
or sunflowers,
depending on what's blooming), and my grandmother's candlesticks, at least 2 mutts of questionable parentage but loving disposition,
and a sassy but still affectionate black cat... named Minerva.
