kiss me stranger From Our House to Animal House: A Love Story -- Ron's memoir about buying and fixing up a condemned former frat house -- with his then-girlfriend Jill. They knew nothing about fixing old houses and they had been dating each other for only six months!
Hardback, illustrated by the author (Feb. 2012):

"Ron Tanner's life is a testament to the power of hard work, a big heart, blind romance, and even outright idiocy. What does he have to show for it? Only a beautiful house, a loving marriage, and now this inspiration of a book. Pass me my hammer!"

John McGrath signed etching: "Gardening"



We found this charming etching at an auction -- four of them -- and we thought they'd make a great addition to any home of art lovers. We especially like the pleasant English country atmosphere and the gardener wheeling his barrow.

The etching is signed in pencil and was a limited run by this listed artist. In an era-appropriate wood frame, matted, and ready to hang. McGath's prints and etchings range from $70-200. at auctions.

Here's a PDF close-up of the etching.
