I am not sure about going back on the other hand. I'll tell you after Easter, coming back from where my roots are. tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-12:2904953 bd 2010-03-12T16:50:56Z 2010-03-12T16:50:56Z the unionville tavern..haunting...and haunted now i would think. maybe it could be moved to one of the<BR>sunnier locations mentioned. it did take me to a wonderful place...as did the mention of paris, cuba, the valley.<BR>funny. it was nice to end w/a laugh...<BR>thanks.<BR>xxxx tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-12:2904943 Graham Page 2010-03-12T16:46:29Z 2010-03-12T16:46:29Z Another reference to Villon's poem is in Catch-22 where Yossarian poses the haunting question: 'Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?' As the book gets steadily grimmer, this allusion to his dead comrade adds a metaphysical tone to the surrealism. tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-12:2904562 bd 2010-03-12T14:31:24Z 2010-03-12T14:31:24Z ah. that's what wrong. i have no curtains.<BR>xxx tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-11:2900677 Jerome 2010-03-11T07:59:37Z 2010-03-11T07:59:37Z I do hope you're not letting the truth of fiction down for some decorating advices... and what about the cleaning of these draperies? tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-10:2899527 philip http://felixinhollywood.blogspot.com 2010-03-10T23:14:21Z 2010-03-10T23:14:21Z There are many rules in the game of window treatments. tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-10:2898791 Name Withheld 2010-03-10T17:20:16Z 2010-03-10T17:20:16Z What the fuck is a pelmet?<BR> <BR>Great blog, darling, but I would leave the English decorating advice with the English cuisine, in the tip, where it belongs.<BR> <BR>XXXXXXXXXOOOOOO<BR> tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-09:2897085 Nancy Barclay 2010-03-10T02:29:29Z 2010-03-10T02:29:29Z I knew the woman who made the corn fritters and I was one of the very few locals employed at the Old Tavern. They wouldn't let just anyone work there. Once I could remember who lived in every house in Unionville. Now I'm at a lose at the fritter maker's name. She was a thin, quite old, and very nice woman.<br /><br /> I loved the stone wall and the side garden and glancing in the side porch window to see all the beautifully dressed women.<br /><br />I thought that I'd live in that town forever. I thought I owned that block, the creek behind the Big Field, the pond behind the Maltbe's. Now I seldom return and there aren't nearly as many good memories as there should have been. <br /><br />You brought back some of them. Thank you. tag:georgesnyder.org,2010-03-04:2879333 George Snyder 2010-03-04T14:17:10Z 2010-03-04T14:17:10Z Indeed.&nbsp; Hence his surprise on this visit when he was not sent to the Servants' Hall for lunch but&nbsp;was permitted instead to dine with his lordship.&nbsp; <BR><BR>J L-M did not always have an easy time of it.&nbsp; Persuading owners like Lord L. to turn their properties over to the NT could be a harrowing business.&nbsp; Sometimes I think the question is not why there are so few of these great houses surviving, but rather how any of them have&nbsp;managed to survive at all.&nbsp;
