Nope! NOT ME!
A few weeks ago I signed up for
A GIVEAWAY.
I seldom sign up for them but this
one involved a book...and you
KNOW how much I LOVE books.
Whooo Hooooo!
I won!
I won a book about Louisiana homes.
I won a book about Louisiana homes.
When I opened the book I saw that not only
had Valorie Hart signed it but so had
Ron & Jeff
-although I think Ron might have forged Jeff's name-
So-Whose house is it you want to know?
Well, it is my friend, Ron,
over at
I think he is just a TAD SCARED about
what I might say.
Don't you worry your sweet little head
I will cross out all the bad parts, Ron,
I promise!
He, and his partner, Jeff,
have this wonderful, warm home
in New Orleans, y'all!
Come inside for a peek!
Do you love it?
Wait till you see the kitchen!
I think there have been
MANY MANY COCKTAILS
served at that bar.
Just a wild hunch on my part.
Those lemons are just for garnishing
some kind of drink...I know it!
Do you love it?
How about this?
If you love oyster shells and
New Orleans and just plain old
good taste in everything,
you will love Ron.
Here's what their house looks like
all decked out for Fall.
Now, I didn't show you
ALL the pictures because
I want you to visit
his blog to see them for yourself.
So......
If you get a chance pop over to
and say
BOO
He'll know what that means!
They have a beautiful, warm and inviting home. Looks like a great book...enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous book! He has a great blog.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the book. Wooo Hoooo how fun.
