6/13 in Yankee History
The red-letter days –
2003: The Yankees defeat the Cardinals' 5-2' as Roger Clemens becomes the 21st pitcher in history to win 300 games. Clemens finishes with 10 strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings to become the 3rd pitcher to surpass 4'000 for his career.
1948: The Yankees retire Babe Ruth's No. 3 jersey in the Babe's final appearance at Yankee Stadium at the 25th anniversary of the venue. The Silver Anniversary crowd of 49'641 cheer as Mel Allen introduces the Bambino. After the ceremonies and a two inning game between Old-timers in which the team of 1923 defeat a team of all-stars from later years 2-0' the Yankees beat the Indians 5-3. Joe DiMaggio collectss two triples and Phil Rizzuto and Yogi Berra add homers to back Ed Lopat's pitching. Lopat is now 13-3 lifetime versus the Tribe.
On other 13ths of June…
2009: Floundering righty reliever Brian Bruney is reassigned to the AA Trenton Thunder.
2006: The Yankees and Indians, the two highest scoring teams in the ML, play to a 1-0 decision with the Yanks prevailing on Robinson Cano's homer off of Paul Byrd. Chien-Ming Wang (7-2) is the winner. This is the first time that the highest scoring team in the majors has beaten the second-highest in a 1-0 game since 1964 (Twins 1, Yankees 0) and only the 4th time since 1900. For Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams, it is his 2000th ML game.
2004: Yankee fans and David Wells have a reunion amongst themselves as Boomer returns to the Stadium in a Padres uniform. Wells pitches brilliantly for seven, as does Javy Vazquez through eight, but the Yankee righthander is the hook, down 2-0 after a Khalil Greene home run and a Terrence Long double. Then Hideki Matsui and Kenny Lofton (pinch hitting for Tony Clark) homer back-to-back with two down in the ninth to forge an improbable tie. The visitors then jump on Brett Prinz for three in the top of the 12th, and it is with a roar that the crowd greet the emergence of 2001 Yankee culprit Jay Witasik from the San Diego pen in the bottom half. Ruben Sierra follows RBIs by Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, and Jorge Posada with a sac fly to close the 6-5 Yankee victory.
1996: Yankees reliever John Wetteland is quoted as saying he'll leave the Yankees at the end of the season. He later denies the comments but does indeed depart for Texas after the World Series.
1988: The Yankees whip the Red Sox 12-6 in Boston, though Yankee starter Richard Dotson gives up Jim Rice's 200th Fenway homer. Rice joins Ted Williams and Yaz as the only ones to do it.
1978: For the 3rd time in his career'Roy White homers from both sides of the plate in a 5-3 Yankee win over the A's.
1975: The Yankees Elliott Maddox' hitting .305' is sidelined for the remainder of the season with torn cartilage in his knee. The injury occurs in a fall on the wet Shea Stadium turf during a 2-1 win over the White Sox.
1970: In a 9-4 Yankee win over Kansas City' Yankee infielder Gene Michael successfully pulls the hidden ball trick on the Royal's Joe Keough in the 6th after the KC outfielder singles in the tying run. Michael will pull it again next month.
1966: Rising young star Jim Palmer combines with reliever Eddie Watt to blank the Yankees 8-0 as the Orioles move into first place, where they will stay for the rest of the campaign.
1964: Mickey Mantle goes 3-for-3' including a homer' to lead New York to a 6-3 win over the first place White Sox. Mantle is hitting .331 and leading the Yanks in homers with 11.
1958: At Yankee Stadium' Mickey Mantle connects of Detroit lefty Billy Hoeft, and the Yankees win' 4-2.
1956: Casey Stengel makes even more moves than usual, and does his bit as the Yankees and the White Sox tie a Major League mark by using 9 pinch hitters in their game. The Sox prevail 7-5, Rip Coleman taking the loss for the Bombers.
1953: The Yankees overwhelm the Indians 9-4' for their 16th straight win. The Tribe now trail by 8 1/2 lengths. Ed Lopat is on his way to his 7th straight win when the Yankees rout Bob Feller in the 4th inning' running the ace's record to 29-37 versus New York' the only team against whom he has a losing record.
1937: In an afternoon doubleheader at St. Louis' the Yanks and Browns slug it out' with New York winning the opener 16-9 by scoring 14 runs in the last 4 innings. The Yanks score 7 runs in the 9th inning off Jim Walkup and Lou Koupal to put it away. The barrage continues in the nitecap' with Joe DiMaggio connecting for 3 straight homers' the third off starter Julio Bonetti to tie the score with two out in the 9th. The game is called after 11 innings with the score at 8-8. On the afternoon' there are 9 home runs: three each by DiMag and Harlond Clift' and Tony Lazzeri' Bill Dickey' and Joe Vosmik each clouting one.
1927: Murderers' Row roll over the Indians 14-6 at the Stadium. Ben Paschal (below) belts 2 homers' a triple and double and scores 5 runs to lead the Yankees. Tony Lazzeri' Joe Dugan and Pat Collins also homer, the latter's blow a grand slam. Herb Pennock is the winner for New York.
1924: In the final contest of a three-game set with Detroit' the first-place Yankees take a 10-6 lead in the top of the 9th. With one out, Babe Ruth takes a pitch in close before fouling out. Bob Meusel is then hit in the back with a pitch by reliever Bert Cole' and charges the mound. Players from both teams start swinging' with Ruth and Cobb pushing each other. Fans rush out of the stands' eager to mix it up with players' police' and each other. The fight goes on for nearly 30 minutes before umpire Billy Evans' unable to clear the field' finally forfeits the game to New York. Cole and Meusel are suspended for 10 days; Meusel is fined $100' and Cole and Ruth $50 each.
1921: At New York, Babe Ruth hits two homers and pitches the first five innings for New York' and the Yanks hang on for a 13-8 victory over Detroit. The Babe gives up 4 runs but strikes out Ty Cobb and is credited with the victory. Ruth's second blast goes 460 feet into the right center field bleachers of the Polo Grounds' the first home run ever hit to that spot. The Bambino retires the Georgia Peach twice today' and Cobb's bottom-line batting average versus Ruth drops to .354 (23 for 65).

Rumormill: Chevy Corvette production to leave Bowling Green for... Lansing?
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jul 14th, 2010 at 2:30PM
Even though it was just named the Official State Sports Car of Kentucky not even a month ago, a story from WLNS speculates that Chevrolet Corvette production could move from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Lansing, Michigan. The UAW president and economist who brought it up apparently didn't suggest that it would happen, they were really just throwing out possibilities to the WLNS reporter. General Motors' Corvette rep David Caldwell, though, has doused any idea of this happening. When Autoblog asked him about the story, Caldwell told us that there had been a roundtable about what the... Read More

There were points in Malaysia for Nico Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez and Jean-Eric Vergne while Valtteri Bottas just missed out in 11th...
Nico Hulkenberg: "I feel quite well rewarded going home with four points after my first race of the season in a new team and with a new car. I am quite happy with how it went, especially at the start of the race when we were quite quick on the intermediates. But then I was stuck in traffic and couldn't find my way past other drivers. I think eighth was well deserved, considering I had to fight and push a lot today. I think the potential is there, and now we have to work on a few details."
Esteban Gutierrez: "P12 is an OK result, but Ideally we would have liked to finish in the points. At the end of the race we lost time because we stayed on the same set of tyres for too long. We tried to change the strategy and I did my best. That was all we could do at that stage. Overall the weekend is a step forward and we need to keep working and put everything together to achieve points."
Sergio Perez: "This afternoon my engineers sorted out a very good race strategy that enabled me to pass the cars immediately in front of me early on - so thank you and well done for that, guys. Unfortunately, towards the end of the race, my tyres began to degrade a bit too much, especially my front left, and we therefore felt it would be too risky to try to drive to the finish on that set. Consequently, we had no real option other than to make an extra pitstop, which caused me to lose position. I still ended up ninth, which is two places better than I finished in Melbourne last weekend, so I think it's fair to say that we can see that progress is being made. In Shanghai in two weeks' time let's hope that that upward trend continues."
Jenson Button: "We drove a good race today. Strategy-wise, we did everything right. We pitted on the correct laps and looked after the tyres exactly as we should have done. We'd have finished fifth but for the problem in the pitstop - maybe we'd even have been in the battle for third and fourth. It's very disappointing that we weren't able to demonstrate that, of course. Even at the end we had a chance of scoring a point, but unfortunately I was struggling with my front left [tyre] by that stage. It kept locking up, and it was producing such a bad vibration that I think the guys were worried that it might damage the front left suspension if I carried on. However, as I say, apart from the pitstop problem, I think we did a pretty good job. We've made improvements over the past week, and the result of those improvements was that we were more competitive here in Malaysia than we were in Australia last weekend, so there are definitely positives that we can take away with us. Hopefully, in China in two weeks' time, we can continue that steady improvement and score a few more points."
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "It's good to finish in the points, but it's a shame that a mistake in the pits cost us so much, as I could have done something better. So, overall I feel rather frustrated. But I'll take the point gladly. After these first two races, we now have a short break before we go racing again and we must use that time to take a close look at how we performed and where we can do better, because there is certainly a lot of room for improvement, as both these two races have been missed opportunities. On the positive side, again today, once we got over our problems I had a good race pace and managed to make up a lot of places"
Daniel Ricciardo: "I compromised my race even before the start when the conditions were very slippery, aquaplaning off at Turn 3. I managed to keep going, but I went across the gravel quite fast and damaged the floor. That probably played a part in my problem at the end. I got a reasonable start and made up a few places and was pretty pleased with the first couple of laps. But I did not have the pace to keep the Lotuses behind me and stay in the top ten, even though the switch to dry tyres was well timed. Like I said, I think the damage on that opening lap affected my overall performance all race long."
Valtteri Bottas: "I had a good start but then I drove off the dry line racing van der Garde and ran wide dropping to the back of the field. Once the track started to dry I was able to start overtaking a few cars and I had a good, clean race. The team did a great job with the strategy and with a few more laps I could have started attacking for a championship point. We maximised what we had today but I trust in the team that we can now continue working together to improve."
Pastor Maldonado: "The intermediate tyres made the start of the race very difficult as it was very slippery, particularly in the first sector. We had a good strategy to pit earlier in the race and opt for the dry tyres. I made a small mistake on braking into Turn 11 which forced me to run wide and damage the front wing slightly. After a new set of tyres, the pace in the second stint was good, but unfortunately my race ended early after a KERS problem forced us to retire the car. We will now work hard to prepare as best we can for the next two flyaway races."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - When we think about human tissue donation, it's generally associated with lifesaving kidney and heart transplants. However, organ donation only makes up a small fraction of how tissues are really used by surgeons and researchers every day.
"I fractured my spine from many years in the military," said Grand Valley resident Sven Jones. "I have donated tissue in my back. That got me into the tissue business 10 years ago. It's been a passion ever since."
Jones currently works as the operations manager for a new nonprofit, Rocky Mountain Donor Services. Formed in August 2011, this local group of medical professionals helps match willing donors with programs associated with medical treatment, research and education. Plus, it's the only nonprofit of its kind on the Western Slope of Colorado.
"We don't recover organs for transplant, but we do recover all the rest of the tissues that can be used for transplant," Jones said, like nerves, veins, arteries, skin, bones, tendons, and corneas from the eyes. "There are more than two million surgeries performed in the U.S. requiring donated tissue transplants."
Though Rocky Mountain Donor Services does not provide tissues to stem-cell research groups, its donations go to a variety of other medical research programs, like cancer projects, and research for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
"It's important to know that all ages and all health statuses can be donors," said Rocky Mountain Donor Services co-founder Dr. John Storheim, a local anesthesiologist. "Don't preclude oneself from seeking those opportunities. It does an incredible amount of good."
Storheim started the group with colleague and friend Dr. Nathan Williams after seeing a need for such a service in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah.
"Statistically, about 65 percent of Coloradoans are registered donors, and only about 6 percent end up giving a donation of tissue for transplant and research purposes," Storheim said.
All types of tissues are needed for life-saving research and pharmaceutical trials, Jones added. And almost everyone can donate their tissues, whether they were healthy or not. There's no age limit, and the disease or trauma level present at the time of death will not impact the donation process.
"One individual can go on to affect literally hundreds of other individuals through tissue transplant and research," Storheim noted. "Tissue trials result in cures."
Both Storheim and Jones suggest that if a person is interested in tissue donation, they should become a registered donor and talk with family members about their wishes ahead of time.
"It's ideal to have someone pre-plan in that way," Storheim said. "We have donor cards for individual's wallets."

The complete schedule for Orientation is listed in Part IV.
As a student at Wesley, you are ultimately responsible for insuring that you fulfill the requirements for your program and that you are progressing toward the completion of your degree. We are committed to helping you by providing information about the academic requirements in the Seminary Catalog and the Student Handbook. You will be presented a portable USB flash drive containing both documents in a digital format at Academic Planning. We will assign you a faculty advisor who can give guidance as you plan your program. At Community Life Orientation, you will be able to meet with your advisor and schedule an appointment to develop a long-range degree plan which will be submitted to the Registrar's Office. You will receive more information about this process at the Academic Planning session.
Students entering under the new Master of Arts degree will meet their advisor, Beverly Mitchell, and discuss with her options for pursuing specific emphases or areas of interest within the degree. Students are able to take any courses they desire, however any required prerequisites for upper level courses must be satisfied.
The M.Div. and M.T.S. degree programs have an identical core of courses that build a foundation for the degree. These courses are in the following areas:
In addition, the M.Div. degree has several additional core courses that, along with the courses listed above, should be completed in the first 30 hours. These courses are in the following areas:
As a new student, plan on taking at least one required course during your first semester. You should plan your course load based on your full-time or part-time status and the amount of time in which you plan to complete your degree.

In an effort to make buying your books simple and intuitive, we have created an Amazon Associates website through which you can find and purchase your necessary textbooks if you wish. Our choice in moving to this system was based on the feedback from students received after the closure of Wesley's Cokesbury Bookstore. Many students are already familiar with Amazon or may have already purchased books through the site in the past.
Of course, you are not required to purchase your books through our new Textbook Website. You may also choose to buy your books through Cokesbury.com, any other supplier, or you may also chose to borrow or seek out used copies through other means. The required and recommended texts for all courses are available through WesleyWeb when you look at the course information in addition to being listed on our Amazon site.
Should you choose to purchase your books through our Amazon site, we have created a guide to help take you through that process.
You may also wish to set up an Amazon Student account in order to access Amazon Prime benefits such as free shipping. More information about how to set up an Amazon Student account is also in the textbook purchasing guide.

Worst computer repair and corporate customer service I've ever dealt with
Posted by
SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA -- I originally contacted technical support for a bad video card on a PS3. They arranged to repair the unit out of warranty for a fee. A refurbished unit was sent to me but the four screws holding the hard drive to the removable tray were overtightened so that they could not be removed. I had it for two days. I contacted them and they arranged to take the unit back, apologizing and offering a free game for my trouble. I shipped it back. Four weeks later I followed up and found out the system was being held because they claimed there were bugs in it. I protested explaining that this was a new unit. They finally relented and gave only a 30 day pass to the PS network instead of the physical game. They overnighted another PS3 but it had the same overtightened screws. I called back and their solution was instead of repairing the hard drive and tightening it to the proper specification to send me a new bay and screws so the original drive was still not repaired and stuck in the cage. They refused to take it back and fix it. Corporate agents refused to help beyond this and had no regard for how I felt about the company. One hung up on me. A supervisor refused to help and they wouldn't even give corporate contact information where to send a complaint. I've dealt with Lenovo, Toshiba, Microsoft and HP. I've heard horror stories of people having units not serviced due to accusations of insects or delays but I couldn't believe it happened to me. Sony's customer service for the PS3 is the worst I've ever had. I can't recommend anyone buy a PS4 now because of this horrible experience.

Sony not honoring extended warranties for PS3 playstation 3
Posted by
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK -- This is to inform anyone who purchase a product from Sony preferably
their gaming machine the PS3 aka Playstation 3.
Be aware that if you purchase a warranty from Sony be it a year extended 3 year extended or so on they will not truly honor your warranty.
They change their policies almost every month and make guaranteeing quite
a joke.
If you have knowledge on gaming then you know Sony released about a handful of different playstation 3 machines. If you no nothing about gaming
then I feel for you as you may get caught in muddy waters then come across
this informative info.
I spoke with a Sony supervisor in charge of honoring the decision
to stand by the product they sell and to make a long story short
he explained that Sony does not honor PS3 machines more than 3 years
old no matter if they were purchased from a store like Gamestop or Best Buy
and sold let's say within this year and with proof of purchase along with
a Sony extended warranty that you can simply buy from the psn aka the playstation store. That being said I didn't have any knowledge on PS3 and the evolution it has gone through due to FAILURE and being DEFECTIVE for the reasons the company made so many versions of this gaming machine.
Now that I did my research I found out that the PS3 I own is the one before the PS3 slim came out for distributions. Regardless PS3 slim owners got the same spit in the face from Sony's sterner style.
At the end of all this Best Buy accepted my return for an exchange on a
Microsoft Xbox 360 and I can say I am pleased with the result.
I did researching as well and it seems Microsoft is smart about their marketing and warranty services which makes them all the more reliable to us the customers for whatever issues we may have with their products.
I just wish I had the supervisors I. D number from Sony so that he can be a public figure to whom I am sure many had issues with.
Sony is garbage.

Allow me to educate you a bit on the subject; The changes made to the PS3 over the years wasn't due to any inherent defects, they were made because the parts got cheaper to produce as time went on, the parts also got smaller (the CPU/GPUs went from a 90nm process to a 65nm process, and now, to a 40/45nm process), in layman's terms this means that the consoles run cooler and require less power to deliver the same amount of performance, this means that they can use smaller, less powerful PSU's (among other components) and make the casings smaller as well, all while reducing price to the consumer. That's not to say that the PS3 is 100% bulletproof, it's not, but compared to it's primary completion,it's hardware is much more reliable overall.
Anyway, about the warranty, Your warranty was through Best Buy apparently, and that's who you should've gone with from the get go. Let BBY and Sony deal with each other. But I defintely think that if you had a warranty, they should've replaced the PS3 with another one.
"At the end of all this Best Buy accepted my return for an exchange on a
Microsoft Xbox 360 and I can say I am pleased with the result. "
Ummmm, Red ring of Death ring a bell?
For what it's worth, my PS3 has performed admirably for years (250 GB Slim), IMHO it's far superior the 360 for my needs, It plays blu-rays, it's ridiculously easy to use media server, it's much, much easier to upgrade the HDD than the 360, and it plays games. Though to be honest, I don't use it for games very often, as, being a "real" gamer, I game on the vastly superior PC platform. Sorry, but playing BF3 at slide-show like 30 FPS, with 8 year old DX9-level graphics, doesn't impress me. #PCElitist
shadygaby21 on 10/22/2012:
This was written solely for anyone having issues with Sony about the warranty on ps3 consoles.
Not about the costs of producing the machine or
having Best Buy take me up on warranties over Sony
as it is Sony's product and they are supposed to
honor the quality of each product they release unless the machine itself has been tampered with
and so forth.
As for your last comment if you want quality
and performance build yourself a PC gaming rig.
FoDaddy19 on 10/22/2012:
I was merely addressing the
"That being said I didn't have any knowledge on PS3 and the evolution it has gone through due to FAILURE and being DEFECTIVE for the reasons the company made so many versions of this gaming machine."
Comment you made. Obviously, if you felt it necessary to bring that up, then your review was not just solely for anyone having issues with their PS3 consoles. I was simply explaining why your accusations were not correct.
shadygaby21 on 10/23/2012:
It was brought up to add to the many who made complaints as you can google search yourself on the so called accusations.followed up by doing youtube searches on the many issues and problems if your really looking to defend Sony in a imaginary court.
FoDaddy19 on 10/24/2012:
The failure rate for PS3's is actually lower than most other similar electronic devices (TV,Blu-Ray player, etc). For the PS3, the failure rate within the first two years is about 0.5%. The industry average is 2%-3%. Just because you can find a couple dozen people complaining online, it doesn't mean that there's a widespread problem, you're only dealing with couple dozen people vs. the millions of units sold. You would need much greater sampling numbers to have better idea of what's really going on.
Fun fact: The Xbox 360 had a failure rate of about 16.4% as documented here
I'm not looking to defend Sony, I'm not actually a huge fan. I'm just attempting to clarify you erroneous statements about the product.

Poor Quality Six Axis Controllers
Posted by
Don Dollock
UNITED KINGDOM -- After getting a PS3 last Christmas with one controller I bought another in order to play 2 player games. After a couple of months of playing call of duty 4 the analogue sticks stopped responding. Anyone that plays call of duty will probably know what I mean, you have to click in L3 to sprint. After a while the button stops responding or responds erratically (works sometimes then not at all). When this problem occurred I then bought a further two controllers to replace the defective ones. Sure enough the same problem arose with the replacement controllers. I would like to make clear that these are the official ps3 controllers from Sony! I now have 4 broken controllers and cannot play games that require analogue controls. The problem even affects games not requiring analogue use because sometimes the analogue stick is stuck in position (i.e. making your player run out for a throw in when playing Pro Evo of Fifa). To play games normally I now have to purchase new controllers again!!!
I am unsure of the details regarding warranty of Ps3 accessories but surely Sony cannot be allowed to sell controllers that break easily during regular gameplay. I tried to e-mail Sony directly to inform them but could not obtain an address after a considerable amount of time spent searching all of their sub categories on the website. I am writing this review to inform Sony that their PS3 six axis controllers are poorly made and I do not appreciate being ripped off. I paid the money in the first place for a product that works, I do not expect to have to replace it three times within the first year.
For people who have experienced this problem write a review and let it be known that Sony Playstation do not provide value for money.

Poor quality plastics on the Playstation Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller
Posted by
Over the past 4 months I've had to buy 4 controllers because of the plastic support around the left thumb knob keeps breaking as result of general normal usage. The plastic is weak & need to be re-enforced or a better plastic should be used.

Mark Webber says he was 'expecting a bit more' in qualifying but starting P7 after his penalty is 'not too bad'.
The Red Bull racer qualified in fifth place for Sunday's 57-lap Bahrain Grand Prix after posting a 1:33.078 to finish 0.748s behind pole-sitter Nico Rosberg.
"I was expecting a bit more from it to be honest," he said. "It felt good in P2 and P3, so the build-up has been pretty good. Overall I would have liked to extract a bit more out of the car. It's easy to leave a little bit of lap time round here by pushing just a step too hard.
"That's the way it is for all of us, and there's a lot of treacherous corners where like I say you can drop two or three tenths here and there. Overall I think it would have been very difficult for me to be on the front row, I certainly left a little bit out there."
But despite putting his car up into fifth place, a penalty from his Chinese GP incident with Jean-Eric Vergne means Webber will start the grand prix seventh on the grid.
The Aussie, though, may have a trump card in his hands having opted to use the mediums in Q2, leaving him with an extra set of hard tyres for Sunday's grand prix.
"We've got a different strategy as well, we've got a set of primes on most people for the race.
"Seventh with the penalty is not too bad. It would have been nice to be a row further up at least with the penalty, but anyway it's a long grand prix tomorrow.
"We know that we've got a bit more of an eye on the race in terms of how we've allocated the tyres compared to quality. It's nice to have as many sets as you can. We've got a few sets, so we'll see how it pans out."

I love this little beach house featured in this month's House Beautiful. A house apparently transformed from an ordinary stucco into an open and airy space fitting for seaside living. The house re-imagined by designer Peter Dunham. He used lots of natural materials as accents throughout the home - wicker, rush, abaca and rope. Fresh, bright, cheerful and accessible. I wouldn't mind cozying up here!
What do you think of this cute cottage? Anything you like here. I love the entry with the fretwork banister and I love the breakfast dining area with the banquette seating.
Happy New Year!
Happy Wednesday!
P.S. Still in Beaver Creek. My computer is not working again. Have photos I will share with you when I get back today!
P.P.S. Hope you had a fantastic New Year!

Happy New Year Cassandra! I love Beaver Creek so can't wait to see photos!!! Enjoy!!!ReplyDelete
Im with you on the dining room that banquette is amazing and the collection of art above it would make it my favorite place to sit in the whole house! This home is Fab!ReplyDelete
House Beautiful used to be such a great decorating magazine. Now I find that I flip through it at the bookstore to see if there's any reason to buy it. Nine times out of ten I don't end up buying it because it's just so blah. If these pictures are any indication, the new issue looks like another one I'll be skipping.ReplyDelete
Agree with you on the stairway...love that fretwork banister! And i love those leather chairs!!!ReplyDelete
lovely pics;)ReplyDelete

This "cute cottage" is probably about a $10M house. Lido Island is outrageously (even for SoCal) expensive.ReplyDelete
Coco I think I like the whole house! And I'm not one to like a lot of color, but this house is warm and cozy. Love it!ReplyDelete
Happy New Year!!
I love the stairwell. Such an interesting bannister!ReplyDelete
Very eclectic, love the kitchen.ReplyDelete
