Our New England forebears had to make do and solve problems with what they had on hand, and we call that Yankee ingenuity. So, finding himself needing to clean the lake house gutters and without a ladder tall enough to reach them, my husband crafted this beauty. Yes, it is a currycomb and a potato masher all duct-taped to a telescoping boat hook. It worked like a charm, no one fell off the roof, and I don’t like that kind of potato masher anyway.
About Ginny O'Donnell
After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see.
Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we?
Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

I am sorry but all of that ingenuity would be for naught but for the unsung hero. Long live Duct Tape!!
