work, rest, work ... and fresh paint
monday was a busy day for the trim carpenter and all the painters. they got a lot done, and the result of their efforts looks pretty good, but making it happen must have worn them out because tuesday nobody showed up.

sneak preview tomorrow [Thursday] evening -- the Grove writers' group monthly meeting will be held here regardless of the condition of the premises.
