What a Trip. . .
I'm taking a bit of a sabbatical from Hump Day House stuff for the next couple of weeks. While I work on reviewing the first round of edits to the first draft of the book I'm writing about this adventure, I thought I'd share a few photos of "the bigger picture" to provide some scope, or maybe scale, to the adventure we've been on for the past 9 years.
If you're a Gen-Xer, cue the tune for the theme from "The Odd Couple:" How can two grown adults (and 2 kids) survive a 9 year renovation without driving each other crazy?
Stay tuned. . . and meanwhile, enjoy a few visuals of the journey!
