Because we know you’re wondering…
Days ‘til Christmas:
48
Status updates:
1) Our neighbor Bob(-the-plumber, a Very Good type of neighbor to have)
is going to handle the gas hook-up. He's booking a few weeks out, but will work us in as soon as he can.
2) While Ryan is at the Pats game Sunday (lucky duck), I’m
going to prep the mantle for paint and on my Monday holiday (no such luck for
Ryan), I’m painting it. (Anyone else feel like all I ever do is PAINT?!)
3) We need to measure for the hearthstone surround. Ryan likes
my idea of soapstone and we’ve found a vendor in New Hampshire. Now to determine how costly this design inspiration is... stay tuned.
4) Halston door is still on order. Ler sigh.

Rad Door
We had a short work weekend this week.
Ryan had an all-day sketch problem at school and 10 hours later, had a (no doubt brilliant) design for an intrusion along Harbor Walk. (He told me he got an A++++. Gosh I married a Very Smart man!)
As for me, I was at the museum Saturday afternoon, night and into the wee hours of Sunday morning for the annual gala. A beautiful event and great fundraising success but My Goodness it was exhausting!
That said, I did have some time on Saturday before my beautification began to put the first layer of red paint on the door and trim.
We both were dragging Sunday morning (architectural genius is also exhausting, I'm told) and so we took a little bop over to Gloucester and Rockport before brunch at The Landing in Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Recharged by French Toast and a spicy Bloody Mary, we were ready for an afternoon of work on the Wee House.
I finished up the door and other trim while Ryan did a much-needed clean out of the barn.
Here are our latest glam shots.
And as for the grass... we have liftoff! Thank goodness for a mild fall.
