Bought for $5 at a thrift shop, painted by San Antonio TX artist Lola Mueller (1889-1949). She's noted for landscapes so this one feels personal. In pencil on back: "Antonia and her cats '38 "

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. The Rogues. It had Gig Young, Charles Boyer and David Niven but incredibly, only 1 season.

Charles Boyer talks with a beautiful woman. They look like they are conspiring.

I've never tried it, but they have mushrooms bouillon concentrate if you want the flavor with no texture issues. I'm guessing it might up your salt, so plan accordingly.

Boo, the Chimera cat who works as very vocal greeter at a vintage store I visited this week. Isn't she pretty? #Caturday

A chimera cat. Its DNA as such is evident by the face, which looks split down the middle, with tan fur on one side of the face and black fur on the other. The body fur is mottled.

GARDEN TIP: Easy way to dry herbs. 1. Stuff herbs in *paper* lunch sacks and label. 2. Gather sacks into a shopping bag. 3. When dry, fill your spice jars. Less messy than tying in bundles or drying on racks. I've been doing this for years.

Paper lunch sacks labeled for various herbs - oregano, dill, parsley, basil, etc. Behind them is a tote bag, for holding them all.

How sad to see a friend/neighbor's trove hauled off. Last year I found myself buying a deceased stranger's art portfolio at an estate sale. Maybe it's existential dread or I'm a sap (or both), but I couldn't walk away.

Black-and-white inked portrait of an old woman with severe haircut, bow-tie choker ribbon around her neck, and striped blouse. Found art.

A watercolor in blue and red of a crying face. A sad poem printed in black ink says, "The words are as clear as black and white. I'm sad."

At brother's urging, I watched this last night. I would object to Wallach playing Calvera if this were made today, but for 1960, it's a rollicking good Western classic.
