Vintage houses and vintage dresses? How about vintage-Lisa writing? Loved it, loved it, loved it. I want to borrow all your likes and dislikes. May I? I kept thinking, Dang, I wish I'd said that. I know I'll never look at one-ply toilet paper the same again!!!! (By the way, could you possibly be NCwriter@gmail? Just wondering who my "secret" fan is).
