My refrigeratored life.
I was thinking the other day, the most interesting spot in my house is the side of my refrigerator. So I took a photo in order to have something to blog about. (Obviously that is a problem for me this week.)
So I'm starting a new meme: Instead of Twenty Five Things About Me, I give you: 25 Things on My Fridge. Starting from the top, left:
1. A 3D cow magnet from Andorra.
2. A print of cows, from The Netherlands, with a windmill in the background.
3. A cotton magnet, from Louisiana, my home state. It's yellow with age.
4. A pink magnet clip from a Madison educational store, I think, but it's strong enough to hold the print.
5. Another cow magnet, this one from Prague. Very wimpy magnet.
6. A funky magnet my friend gave me when we lived in Madison.
7. An Explorabook magnet, strong for holding heavy things.
8. "Asylum for teaching young females household work" magnet, from Bath.
9. Spanish refrigerator poetry magnets: hicieron, hicimos, impulso.
10. A photo of our last dog, a sweet cocker spaniel, with a pewter sun magnet holding her on. She's not very heavy.
11. A postcard of cows by artist Stanley Spencer....
12. ...held up by another magnet from Andorra.
13. Photo of the current dog, when she was a baby puppy, held up by a magnet of Whistlejacket, by George Stubbs, from the Stubbs exhibit at the National Gallery in London.
14. Postcard my daughter brought back from Montmartre in Paris...
15. ...held up by a red street sign magnet from Prague.
16. All this is over a photo of Daughter Number Two at two, sleeping on Grandmother's quilt...
17. ...who is next to her big sister, Daughter Number One, at six months, wearing Osh Gosh B'Gosh.
18. Henry VIII, my nemesis, on a magnet from Dover Castle.
19. Bayeux Tapestry magnet, holding up DNT, from Normandy.
20. Van Gogh's Sunflowers on a magnet, holding up DNO.
21. Magnet from Zugspitze, which I bought after staring at a row of them instead of the rail at the summit.
22. Postcard from The Netherlands, of cows, what else?
23. Charles Darwin magnet, from the Darwin: Big Idea exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London.
24. Oxford magnet, from my first visit to Oxford.
25. William Morris pattern magnet, from his home in Kelmscott, holding up a photo of DNT and her prom date, taken at Pinewood Studios.
My life, all there on my fridge. Cows, kids, and magnets.
