Move In Day!

Today I begin moving furniture items into the new/old room.  Draperies will be hung and next week the crystal chandelier will be installed.  It's been a long-time-coming project to bring to completion and now that it's done---I can hardly believe it!

In Poetry and Art

“To name an object is to suppress three-quarters of the pleasure of a poem…to suggest, herein lies the dream.”

Still painting...

Gleaming new maple floors installed

The pre-finished maple floors were installed Saturday.  The remaining items are few.  The sight of the new floor has sure received the WOW response from everyone taking a look this weekend---what a difference a floor makes!

Last night we went out to The Depot to hear Galactic, New Orleans jazz-funk band with special guests vocalist Cyril Neville (of the Neville Brothers) and Corey Henry (Rebirth Brass Band) with Orgone.  The place was jumpin' and our own local musician, David Halliday sat in with Galactic (having performed with them while living in New Orleans a few years back), and wowed our socks off with his saxy prowess.  :o)
