For living in an area called Dry Ridge, it sure has been raining alot here. 2 days straight now, but actually we really did need it. Maybe we won't be in a rainfall deficit, as they say we are in on the news. This one sure brings back memories of my childhood, A.M. radio, and the era when rainy days meant you couldn't go outside to play, were stuck inside playing with your boring Fisher Price house and amusement park (complete with Ferris Wheel) with your siblings, which inevitable led to a fight, and the little people and marbles being thrown around the room and at each other, and then spankings all around....

Root Company , and am glad to be able to share with my friends, cutomers, and fans a new side of Raige. There is much more to list, from my slight addiction to auctions and yard sales, that will make Vintage Raige on Etsy and Vintage Raige on Zibbet  THE place where Vintage is all the Raige.  Keep checking to find unusual, interesting, and fun items.

What Do Men Want and How Do We Find It? It's a loaded question perhaps, but hopefully we can learn something here. It turns out they DO think totally different from us, and it actually IS quite affective, especially when it comes to searching for things they like!
