The painting goes on

Here are Erik’s latest paintings.  I just love the bottom one.  It’s definitely one of my favorites.

Digging

The warm weather has kept the kids busy outside.  Harvey said the only way I am ever getting a pool is if I did it…but it looks like I might be able to get some cheap labor to help me out:

Always glad we put 12 tons of sand for them to sit by while they dig up all of the dirt.

A Door

For the first time since we moved in over six years ago…I have a door on my master bath!  I also have crown molding in the bathroom.  The first night we slept here it was so cold in our room (November) Harvey had to get up and get a heavy blanket and nail it to the door frame.  That lovely thing swayed from the cold air coming in from the hole in the roof for six years.  So back to the door, I was a little bummed when I found out that paint does not come next (since I bought the paint like four months ago.)  Next, Harvey has to figure out how he is going to do the little closet space.  I want shelves and drawers.  It’s pretty deep and also narrow.  The picture I gave him would be described as shallow and wide.  Oh well, keep that mind sharp!  He also has to build the casings for around the door.  That one is on him since he found the picture of a door that we both really liked.  He had to pick a 19th century farmhouse.  Anyway…I think you can pretty much add up that timeline.  But look at my door!
