I am on my way again today and tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be back in Dundee. Hurrah! Apologies to all the folks I didn’t see this visit, but being without a car means being in the village. At least there was a lot of painting to do. Big thanks to Debi, Peg and Mary for visiting me out in the countryside. The house has a long way to go yet, but we are making progress. Hoping to talk Bertie into a ‘Work in Progress’ party in September or October. Maybe we’ll have the 1810 room done and ready to show off.

Spring has come and just in time we have a newly re-screened porch. It’s amazing how much of a difference a coat of paint and modern screening makes. Connor and Kipper love it, too. They have a better view over the back yard to keep an eye on the birds, deer, woodchuck, fox, squirrels and chipmunks. Never a dull moment.
