Hi Everyone,

So sorry for being tardy and not updating the blog, but it has been hectic city here at home with a master bedroom closet painting project in the works which I have now code-named “project runway!”

Referring to ourselves as Vincent and Frida, Mike and I have worked liked dogs to get the darn project complete, and have subsequently delayed our road trip twice to accommodate daily hours of toil and sweat. The inside is in good shape, but doors and drawers will have to be finished on our return!

Our next trip will be amazing and I am super excited about the route Mike has planned. We head straight for Pennsylvania to visit the Civil War battle ground at Gettysburg; on to New York to the famed West Point military academy; into Maine to gorge on lobster!; up to Vermont to participate in a motor home rally and wonder at the autumn colour; then to Niagara Falls which I cannot wait to experience; take in a few Halls of Fame and start wending our way home through Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee.

We plan on being away for about six weeks and very much look forward to having you along for the ride!

Did we really think this one through? Our garage full of the doors and drawers to be sanded, filled, primed and painted for the new closet! An interesting task to undertake in Texas temperatures which have yet to fall below 90 degrees!
