* ant

if there is a man that is one-of-a-kind, it's anthony squillacci jr.

  • anthony squillacci sr. is over 90, and a complete stud of a man.
  • jr. is sometimes referred to as "ant".
  • when i was a kid, they were building televisions in the basement (for kicks) when ant was 5.
  • he began working at his dad's shop at age 13, and finished high school classes early enough to get to the shop... to work on weekdays.
  • he earned enough money to buy a convertible, and a boat.
  • ant has never, ever been afraid of work, learning, and creativity.
  • he has a non-stop smile, a great accent, and the most positive attitude of anyone i've ever met (right up there with pete lawrence). 
  • when he met karen, they decided to build a life together.  they mesh.
  • they now have serval acres, an off-grid home, chickens, bees and an organic garden.
  • their home has heart... and it (literally) has a heart -- one that pumps water throughout the flooring (even out to the concrete patio) to keep the toes warm in wintertime.
  • they are currently on a road trip in their new r.v., and i'll be linking-up with them (today!) in the mountains of n.c.
life is definitely fantastical!
