Oh Boy!

 My house looks like a disaster area, as my daughter has used her last day with us here to go through all the boxes that need to move to the other side of the country. In the process, we discovered that two large portfolios of art work were totally destroyed by mould; somehow, they got wet and then the fungus began to grow. It's kind of heart-breaking to see all those sketches, drawings and paintings end up in a bonfire.

We have NOT had time to go over the camera, so the Carpenter-in-Chief will try, once again, to help me figure out how to move photos to the blog. Our daughter's flight leaves at 5:45 tomorrow morning, which means having to be at the airport at 4:45, and it is at least a half hour's drive. I will be more than just slightly worn out tomorrow, and will have to make do with perhaps three hours of sleep, as we are having a visit with her mother-in-law this evening.

However, the good news is that our mini/craft afternoons will be resuming, and I will definitely stay awake for that. Both of my mini partners have moved from houses to apartments, so it has been a very long job to thin down decades of accumulation for them. Many minis have also had to go....

I've had a significant birthday, and have received the beginnings of a very large 1/12 scale pub, that was begun at least 25 years ago, so I had better get moving.

Thank you for continuing checking out the blog, one way or another I will start posting progress on a great many projects within a few days.
