the house is painted!

It is exciting to have the exterior of our grand old house painted, and its grandeur restored.  The colors are exactly what I wanted and I am happy to just stand & stare.  Want to know a secret? I love driving by it whenever I am crossing town.

The painters started this big exterior project the same week that we started our radiation treatments.  And six weeks later they put the finishing touching on within an hour of Mike completing his last treatment.  (I am not making this up.) Our painters did an amazing job scraping, caulking, prepping and painting - and I would like to take this time to thank Josh, Nips, Damian, Chad, JJ, Bev and Larry for their EXCELLENT work.
