What brings pleasure into your life?
For me it seems to be the simple things . . . drinking my OJ from a tangerine Blenko Glass, walking Ms B on a night where the moon is full, finding myself with 'free' time on a Saturday or Sunday, doing the Crossword puzzle in the Sunday paper.Pleasure. . . can be found in many ways. For some of my friends its finding a great BLENKO item at the Visitors Center, or finding a vintage item of BLenko or West Virginia Glass at the Flea Market. Having a good bottle of wine, just relaxing, seeing a movie.
My webmajster Steve was kind enough to provide the follow comments from others about pleasure.

One of my pleasures is monthly reading your blog, remembering your constant blush, your passion for Virginia glass and the old men who make it. Sorry to hear about Winslow. When do you graduate?
