Catz

Beacon is home to a cat sanctuary. I visited it the other day to see about doing volunteer work. Here are some of the denizens.

"I'm Noko Marie! Don't mess with me!"






A few are FIV+ or leukemia patients.

Dining Room - Getting Started.

We started with some painting. We painted the ceiling dark, but that's only so that the wallpaper we put on it won't show white if there are gaps between the sheets. The wallpaper we chose will make the ceiling appear to be made of copper or cupric metals.

The walls paint is peanut butter, believe it or not.

Jennifer used newspaper to see what wall-frame moulding would look like on our walls.

Dining Room

Here's what it looks like now.




After two hours at Home Depot yesterday, we're ready to get working again.

Where'd we go?

Well, let's just say that a few weekends have been blown on the couch playing Xbox.

Mt. Beacon A Different Way







My friends Mark and Dave asked if I would go hiking with them. We had Finn with us. Though it was rather icy on the trails, we all got up with a minimum of trouble.

Jennifer Went To Europe, Not Paul

She wrote the posts about Europe, and took the pictures.
