During July's hot weather,
Gary busied himself by designing and building a rustic coffee table
from the same wood used to make
picture frames
last year.
This will reside in the less formal downstairs area of the Main House.
Construction of matching end tables went on hold while Gary worked on
trim for the downstairs and regrading of the area surrounding the
house.
Meanwhile,
Pauline has continued making curtains and quilts for the Main House.
She also bakes a treat for the workmen at least once a week
(she got ice cream on a couple of very hot days).
When we finish moving in,
we will try to get photos of our handiwork in situ.
The hot weather of July abated the first week of August,
just in time for the annual Sweet Pea Festival.
This year we managed to avoid being involved in the parade
(unlike
2006
and
2005)
and limited our activity to attending an open air evening concert.
