Not many-though saying no one else does- may be overstating what is a vast beyond my realm- post consistently original material and with a joy and knowledge that is unparalleled. With so many blogs just posting material from links to everywhere,reposting articles with flippant comments, I find nothing more refreshing than to turn to RD for a treatis on horsehair or a Peale and a Pot.P.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-63272304525505539732010-12-31T11:57:39.086-05:002010-12-31T11:57:39.086-05:00I love Reggie and I feel so lucky that he shares h...I love Reggie and I feel so lucky that he shares his voice with us.

I agree with DED about the maid's uniform post and was actually glad to see the following dust up about it. However, I have also read many of his encouraging words to other bloggers. Kindness always impresses me. As does anyone who truly loves a house and dogs. Cyberspace, unfortunately, turns out to be just like earth: it lacks perfection and requires compromise. When RD's posts get overly pompous, the mouse click is my very best friend. As RD has taught us nothing is so important as one's own opinions.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-88309966994413089972010-12-30T21:01:26.745-05:002010-12-30T21:01:26.745-05:00i adore reggie darling and since reading that blog...i adore reggie darling and since reading that blog i have been seized with a desire to monogram everything in sight.Lynne Rutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861049506323014982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-26248375013072105782010-12-30T15:29:58.651-05:002010-12-30T15:29:58.651-05:00Oh that maid's post.

But, someone who loves Federal houses and amethyst glassware, and whose politics are more liberal than his social views does not stay banished forever, and back on the list he sits. and like you when I love him I really love him, and when he annoys me, I just look the other way...sometimes. (and fully aware am I that he will read this. I will take my punishment like a man). <br /><br />On another note, how did I miss your utterly delightful post about your world and your personal maid's wear?
