WTF Wednesday: Moving to Colorado

Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

There will be no creepy dolls today, I’m sorry – but I have some WTF news to share – Skippy Haha Vintage is officially moving to Colorado. 

welcome to colorful colorado


Though a tragic change in family circumstances is driving this decision, it’s definitely a positive move on the whole – there are a few really awesome people in Denver that we’re lucky to spend a lot more time around in the coming years.

I am extremely sad to be leaving the river that flows through our backyard.

I am a little worried that the thrift stores of Colorado will not measure up to the wondrous bounty of Western NC’s goodwills, but hoping to find lots of old rodeo duds.

I am sad to be leaving some excellent friends, and Asheville’s progressive creative hippie community where I immediately felt welcome when I first came to visit 10 years ago (this week!)

I am sad to be leaving Marco’s pizza.

I am excited to be in an awesome (warm! thick-walled!) house in Evergreen.

I am excited for all the spectacular hiking opportunities in Colorado.

I am excited to live in a state where grass is legal and swat teams are not busting into people’s homes over a plant. 

I am excited to live in a state where Single Payer Health Care is on the ballot next week.

I am excited to live much closer to some of the most amazing, generous, fun-loving, adventurous, brave, funny, and smart friends and family in existence.

Our moving date is in November – which is now officially this month. 

I’ll do my best to be back next week with more WTF treasures. 

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

WTF Wednesday: Scorpion Suckers, Attack Jackass

Aloha Wednesday! Aloha WTF!

Back from a few days in Arizona where the sun was a-shining and the WTF was a-flowing. 

Thanks for the warning.

 My sweet niece caught the WTF bug and helped me find some “weird stuff” at the ghost town:

What’s floating inside that lollipop?

Oh you know, just a scorpion carcass.

happy birthday, DAD!

Today is my dad’s birthday. 

Here he is winning the Rhode Island Jr. Chamber of Commerce Golf Sportsmanship Award in 1959.

He’s in a seersucker suit, and that’s my dearly departed grandpa Wallace cut off on the left behind him. 

Of course he won this award, he is the most right-minded, selfless, even-keeled person you could ever meet! The other kids never had a chance. 

Happy birthday Big Papi!
