Mr. Vanilla and I are moving in together in a little less than three weeks. Part of the flurry of packing and arranging for the move has been a huge project. He is building a bed for us. He lovingly designed it himself and has been spending every weekend in his workshop finishing it so it can be ready when we move. Among other very charming customizations, the one I’m most excited about is the quarter inch channels that he carved into the posts at the four corners. They were placed in order to create ideal tie off points for rope. I gave him a set of rope last year and finally expect that he’ll be getting more use
