We’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to update.

The other day we did the dreaded holiday shopping in one fell swoop.  After one store after another, I was done in, but mission accomplished.  This antique shop cat had the right idea–sleep through the feeding frenzy.

Yesterday we headed up the hill to Avdi’s to work on the project of repairing, installing, and cleaning before the kids’ visit.  The foothills were shrouded in mist, and the leaves were in full color and falling all over in the continuing rain.

It’s a work in progress, but we made a big dent, and discussed future installments and color schemes.

Here is one of Avdi’s cats supervising, and enjoying all the attention.
