Today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you...

**Super-double post Saturday**

I just read an article in the The New York Times Home & Garden section about Sandra Foster (that's her above) and her adorable Victorian cottage that sits on the land she and her husband own in the Catskills.

It's her own little retreat--with a shabby chic, all white look that's right up my alley. And this little slideshow gives you a good peek inside.

After you see the pictures --and the one of her above looking oh-so-cute in her pink wellies-- you will crack up reading about her husband and the 70's-era trailer home they share nicknamed the "groove tube".

In writing about her husband, the author offers up one of the best descriptions of a person I've ever read:

"Mr. Foster, 51, is a man whose chest gives the impression that he has to go through doors sideways." 

I also love that Sandra says through tough times  "Her solace was listening to the band Rush and gardening,..."

To each his own! What a great little story.  Read it here.





If you need your own solace, here's a little Rush.
