Hi, Tom! Thanks for taking the time to visit. I am in complete awe over the flooring you created for Mary. It was nice to see it in person and can appreciate the hard work and the fact you traveled quite a ways to help Mary reflect a design aesthetic that I have appreciated for a long time. All the best, Jeanette

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit here, Diane. It was such a treat to see Tobi's work in person. By the way, I thoroughly enjoy your magazine and recently became a subscriber. I just read the October issue over lunch and am completely inspired by the content, particularly the Easy Elegance article. Jeanette Sent from my iPhone

I agree. No need for data ports. Just make sure yup have plenty of electrical outlets. Our iPad sits in the kitchen and my goal is to get rid of all our cookbooks and maintain our favorites on ebooks. As behind as aim with my blog reading as well as posting on my own, I cannot imagine a day without missing yours. Jeanette Sent from my iPad
