i love 1975

Carolina and I cooked the ENTIRE thanksgiving meal pretty much on our own (with the exception of the green jello that Daisy made and the store-bought pies). This is something I've never done before (and have never really had any desire to do), but since Carolina was really excited to cook I took it upon myself to "help out." The day began with waking up at 7 AM to finish preparing the turkey (Luis made a great little helper throughout the entire day). By 1:30 we were ready to sit down to eat. Most of the food taste a little weird to me (though I was assured that it all tasted just fine). After ignoring the Cowboys game, taking a short nap, watching home movies, and having an hour and a half long conversation with my mom, I found myself wandering down to the basement of Grandpa and Grandma Clement's house. I quickly got over the slight claustrophobia from having the ceiling 4 inches away from my head and began perusing through a book case. It was there that I found it... the greatest piece of home decorating history... 1975's Better Homes & Garden: Home Decorating Book. I was in love. Although I don't necessarily love all of the bold patterns and colors put together, there were several pieces of furniture that I would put in my house in a heartbeat. This book just had to be mine, and thankfully Grandma Clement effortlessly parted with it so it has now found a new home on my bookshelf.
