The Adventures of… Duck Tape
The miracles of modern science and technology never cease to amaze me. I remember when cell phones were the size of small dogs, and now they not only easily slide into a tight pair of jeans, but talk to you while they are there. I’m always afraid it’s going to tell me my jeans are […]
Victorian Antiques
Antiques of the Victorian era are those that were made during the reign of England’s Queen Victoria – July 20, 1837 through January 22, 1901.
