The best part of Nati’s with Papa Bill is having Peppermint Patties for dessert.

When we visited Friday, Maya was running around the house with her headlamp on. It was so cute, except when she was looking directly at me, blinding me …

Maya and Sparty play so nicely together. Maya just loves him.

… and who wouldn’t?

On a side note to Grandma, today marks the day an outhouse arrives and the demo guys show up to begin removing all the trash, junk & mess left behind from the previous tenants at 4754. Bruce thinks it could take a couple days to get it cleaned out & the walls demo’d for new electrical and insulation.

Out of respect, I won’t post any “before” photos, but rather will post ongoing photos of the cleaned up premises and work as it moves along so you can see the progress. We’ve made a couple decisions during your absence we think you’ll approve of (mostly to do with the kitchen), and hopefully by the time you return, we’ll have a close-to-finished product. It’s my understanding Cindi will begin work in the loft next week while work downstairs in the bathroom, etc. is going on. Bruce has been working hard pricing, getting estimates, interviewing workers, etc. I think he’s enjoying being a general contractor.
