Taking a pause with my Mondrian table as the painters had a spray area set up in the garage for the cupboard doors. It's been a harder project than I originally foresaw. When I got down to making the design I realized the black lines in-between the coloured squares were very important to get the right look so incorporating that has been fiddly work. It's looking great and a photo of the finished product soon to come.
Yesterday morning as I was working on the table with the garage door open, Dee dropped by while walking Bailey, her dog (just the cutest little white poodle like dog) and said she was making chilli for dinner and invited us to join her. Her neighbours, Duane and Jeannie, were there too. Duane is a veterinarian in the Eugene area. They live on a 278 acre ranch and have lots of head of cattle. Quite the life being a vet, a rancher, and visiting their place in Palm Springs and their place on the Oregon Coast. Duane does a lot of fishing and hunting in B.C. so knows it well.
I thought this was going to be a simple meal but it was the whole 9 yards….appies, chilli, salad, dessert…all accompanied by great conversation. And we got to see some of Dee's wonderful art….fabulous!
We went to Las Casuelas for lunch to get out of the painters' way and enjoyed listening to our "rockers". Jim spotted this very cool Studebaker Avanti….very rare. In wonderful shape.
Jim is getting to be quite the shopper and got a tremendous deal on a 50" "smart TV". Looking forward to getting that all set up.
Way cool car!
