I'm getting a chuckle out of you editing your post and me posting at the same time....18:06. :*)

We went over to some friends' home for a simple dinner and a lot of fun. I swear that my tummy muscles hurt today from laughing. They grilled some fresh snapper and dolphin (mahi mahi) brought back from their recent fishing trip. It was so good, I hated to swallow! We also grilled some fresh zucchini, and enjoyed a cold couscous and quinoa salad. I brought some Haagen-Daz limoncello gelato and homemade shortbread cookies. I must never-buy-the-gelato-again. Holy moly.

Love seeing this photo! I had the chance to meet at least 6 in the area of Richmond and Williamsburg Virginia a few years back before leaving Yorktown to move back to Florida for retirement. I LOVED seeing the 'surreal' GIRLS IRL! They were exactly as I thought they were! And we were like strangers who already KNEW a lot of us... hearing 'This is like what you have in your house, MR...' was like... 'this stranger I am with has seen my house'!!! LOL how FUN..because we ALL shared a common interest! And even after I moved away from them, we are all still close friends on FB and by email... we still share ideas.... I will soon be searching out people in Central to South Florida area, I have already met some on FB. DID we EVER think that our days of being on decorating boards could turn into life-long friendships? LOVE stories like this and the photos!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I think in a Brownstone from the turn of the 20th c. subway tiles would be appropriate whether the trend has peaked or not. That was the first era of their popularity.
