August is here and gone

So, it is almost the end of August and nothing much going on EXCEPT...tearing up my bathroom (urged by Melly and performed by Melly assisted by Liz and finally Me) AND re tiling the shower with broken dish and tile Mosaic and Grouting and Grouting and Still more Grouting that is not done yet...The grouting takes a lot of time because a. it is vertical b. I am using a very dark grout and c. There are 3 dimensional objects to deal with...BUT IT IS SO COOL!! Everyone who has seen it has said "Wow" And, Tanya said it was really an Art Piece It changes the whole house! Also, I got a brand new back door...the old one was bending when you closed it and also it would not close all the way...so I am very excited about my new door...If I can figure out how to fix up the Garage and the Roof I will be very happy...working on that now...Also I got a new job for Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas designing a tile room to be used as a pottery studio...I have learned even more about tiling doing this and I think it will be beautiful as well as safe and practical to use. Andrew and Melissa came for a visit and mostly just went through my garage during their time with me...2 days...and I will get some hang out time when I go to Pennsylvania in 2 weeks for the wedding of her Father and Suzette...REALLY looking forward to that!!! Life is good and very worth hanging around for...Can hardly wait to see the next step...always an adventure just around the corner!!! I will be 73 in October and it is nothing like I imagined 73 would be when I was young...I didn't think it would be any fun...and it IS!!!
