We both got haircuts of about the same length so now it's even
harder to tell us apart.....I believe they say couples start to look alike after many years of togetherness and we're starting at the top of our head.
After a year or so of procrastination, we're finally finishing the study/den/man cave/guest room. P is creating a desk and table out of our former dining room table. It was a hinged affair with a pretty inlay. I liked it but it just didn't work in this house and it was destined for the consignment shop. But his frugal nature fostered his creative side and he is busy repurposing the table. So, before we have a room full of furniture, I managed to pick out a color and begin the painting drudgery. I am not the neatest painter and couldn't resist writing on the walls. Unfortunately, this terra- cotta color is going to take two coats.....stay tuned for the finished view.
Someday, I'd actually like to see this place, St Andrews that is, in Scotland. But I would never consider playing this course. Besides the wind, the rain and the temperature, there are those amazing bunkers to consider. It's hard to imagine men clad in plaid skirts wanting to actually brave the elements with a stick and a ball.......seems like it should have been Ponce de Leon after finding Florida and the fountain of youth. But maybe the gators gave him second thoughts.
I dislike painting alot. I'm always making a mess somehow. About the time the job is done, I'm starting to feel comfortable. I just try to avoid it all together.
ReplyDeleteLove the terra cotta - a very bold color - can't wait to see the room all done.
Nice to know you're still alive living your mundane retired life. I thought I was the only one.
The lazy daze of summer...
ReplyDeleteOoooo, can't wait to see that terra cotta room. I love bold colors in other people's houses but I'm always chicken when it comes to mine.
ReplyDeleteStay cool if you can. It's hot here,too. Thank goodness fro AC.
