Transformation!!!


Remember that wonderfully decorative scorch (actually, burn is more accurate) mark that enhanced our kitchen cabinet door? This is the same door after it has been transformed by the artistry of our son, John. He is a magician. I'm crazy about the color, and the workmanship is top notch. His visit is drawing to a close, but the wonderful work he has done in helping to upgrade our home is inestimable. What a boon.

He, his son, dog, truck and boat are departing on Friday. They will pick up his wife in Minneapolis and continue their cross country oddysey. Wow. He and his family are about to commence a new chapter in their family story. We are going to miss them, but it is time for them to go to their new home. It is an exciting adventure.

Watching basketball together is something that John and I like to do. We used to do it with considerable passion, but our interest is less intense with our aging. These last games have been very interesting, not the least of the interest being generated by the childish antics of the Maverick owner. He thinks he has so much money that he can do anything and then just pay the fine. Hmmmmmmmmmm. I wonder if he knows how bad he makes himself look?

Have a great day. I will take more pictures of some of the cool stuff that John has done and let you see that at a future date.
