White Paint Works a Miracle on the Sun Porch...

Eric and gallons of white paint worked miracles on the Sun Porch!  It looked brighter and larger. And best of all the peachy color that was not playing well with our fabric choices was gone for good!  Jane was able to pick out several fabrics. A ibis print for my comfy old chaise and an assortment of fabrics for tons of pillows for the new day bed. The deal was I get my comfy chaise and Mike got a new day bed for him to crash on...that way we could both snooze on the porch while pretending to read the paper!  Eric was starting on the deck and the outdoor shower. We settled up with him for all the painting and part of the new work. We would still be painting if we had not been so lucky to hook up with Eric. Eric thought he would need a couple of weeks on the deck and shower...

Hershey is on the premises!

Hershey is 7 and is a loveable Chocolate Standard Poodle looking for love and affection.
He is doing amazing well considering we just picked him up last Thursday night at 7.
He is high energy and very interested in everything. He seems to be used to being in
a kennel...the walking on the leash thing is a bit of a challenge...but improving. His disposition
is wonderful. He loves loves being petted and hugged. If you wrap your arms around him
and give him a hug he sits down! He prefers being in his own space. He put himself to bed
the first night. We had a large Orvis doggie bed (snagged at the local thrift store) in a corner
of the guest bedroom across for our room. A bit before ten he just when in and went to bed.
He stayed until we said it was ok to get up and go with us for a walk. After our walk he
kept pacing and walking about until I left the back of the SUV open. He hopped in the back
and refused to get out...so being a good hostess I just served him his water and food bowls
on a tray in the back of the Rav4...2 funny. This morning for the first time he has calmed down
enough to quietly sit with us on the back deck. He is a BIG dog...told a friend it was a lot
like bringing in Christmas tree to the house...he looks a LOT bigger... in the house! But not too
big for us to have already made room for him in our hearts.
