radiator covers as romantic gifts

Confidential to Brent in Eugene: No, I don’t recommend an arts and crafts style radiator cover for a 25th wedding anniversary gift. Women like romantic things, but not too romantic. My suggestion: Go to Garresonlumber.com and buy the book Drying Lumber without a Kiln. Tell your spouse that with the money you can save with the book you’ll have enough to buy her a new vehicle. Then go buy her a pickup truck so you can haul the lumber you are going to dry. By your 26th anniversary, you’ll have enough lumber to cover all the radiators in the house and I hope to have finished another book: Radiator Covers: Plans for every Major Furniture Style. It will include Chippendale, Shaker, Mission, Queen Anne, Danish Modern and even post Modern.

To Tater Totters: I got 3 responses: 2 at 10 and 1 at 11. Thank you. She turned 11 in the spring. A writer should be able to show a person’s age without telling. Tater’s going to help me at the honey booth at Howard Community Day. Her mom says she’s been proudly showing her stings to everyone. Unfortunately the swelling has gone down already.

For some reason a little pane with my site in it is showing up to the left... and you might want to link the title of your book to your other website ;)
