R & R for OSHA Babe

Beth, Lenise, and Pat and the get-away car

Look out cats, here come Annie and Layla
This was the corner that needed attention
Do you think he will ever get a chance to use those golf shoes?

Benjamin's friend

Highlights for week ending July 1, 2007


1. OSHA Babe was picked up and whisked away for a little R & R with longtime friends Beth and Lenise. They were in the Marble Falls area for the record breaking 18 inches of rain in one night. Fortunately, they stayed high and dry and the Babe returned ready to rock and roll on the renovation. The timing was a blessing. Friendship is such a gift. Thanks to both of you.


2. Meanwhile back at the farm, good old Bo just kept on working. I returned to find the beadboard cut, primed and ready to finish out in the kitchen and nice sconce lighting on what had been dangling connections on the stairway. The kickboard and trim on the stairway was taped off, primed, and ready to paint. What a difference such details make!


3. The end of the month stirred the motivation to consolidate and move out of one of our two storage units. Hooray! Mission accomplished. It's difficult to unpack and put away with the downstairs unfinished but we are working at it. The boxes in the picture are mostly unpacked and will be on their way to North Carolina with Emma, Web, Megan, and Benjamin. We will miss them but are happy for the opportunity he has to accept a job there. Benjamin trusted me to let his little crab friend sleep over after their visit last week so I took him with me to the lake. I do thank God for all the children in my life!
