Still painting here. What a big job. The guest room is coming along. The baseboard and the crown molding have one coat of paint in this picture. I’ve put two more coats on the baseboards today. The white makes it look fresh. Half the walls are painted. The ceiling is done. The oak flooring (sitting […]
I’d be quite unhappy if I didn’t have some kind of creative outlet. I must confess, I have more than several areas of interest, but one of my favorites is photography. You’ve seen a lot of my photos on this blog. Following are some that don’t fit my usual blog topics. I am a member […]
New pictures of the twins… Big sister gives a typing lesson… The twins are coming to see us soon! ~~Grandma 🙂
