Mother's day

For Mother's Day, Madeline and I went to tea at the Washington Duke Inn. Madeline had built it up so much in her head that I was worried it wouldn't live up to her expectation. We talked about what was different from her expectation - we sat at individual tables not everyone in the restaurant having tea together, etc.  We picked out outfits together and then Harris took a couple of snaps of us while Margot napped.  Yes, Madeline had cucumber sandwiches. And desserts.  Margot stayed home with Harris and worked on chores, Here she's 'sweeping' (No! Mine!) the front walk.

Harris is home

Staying busy! We found a pair of lights for $25 at an estate sale. Between the two there was enough for Harris to make one really nice newel post light. He has a flicker light in it. I don't like the flicker light. Owel.  He also installed the fretwork in the hallway!  And upstairs too! From the landing and then looking down the hall.  Everything is getting ready for interior trim paint! So very close to having painters come in and tear the house up to place the final touches of wonderful.  Thoughts on which white to use for the trim?
