Hi everyone. I am a bit mind-boggled after an unexpected week of home repair construction. I hesitate to say ''rehab'', as no redecorating, just essentials. Last week when I was out thrifting [or not]w my friend, another friend texted that he had a contractor available to do my long neglected home repairs. I never expected the work to start within a day or two, but it did. I am thrilled so far but so stressed, as is Mo.

Tomorrow and for the next few days I'll lose some/ all access to my computer/ photos/ bathroom! So I'm just catching up today instead of writing about my summer quilt plans.
Mo has found the project quite interesting. He esp loved the demo.
He snuggled with electric drills.
The mess is very contained. But well, there.
If you look close, Mo is under the table. He is quite fond of this box of debris.
The construction team is, to me, quite impressive. Fast and very neat. They do ignore Mo, which makes Mo sad, but probably best they stick to their work lists. The boss takes photos of everything before things are moved or covered. I was so touched last night to see that they had carefully replaced my cherished collection of lavender seaglass, onto the newly painted window bar. How sweet is that.
And they cleaned the screens!
When all is done I was thinking of replacing my pathetic wobbly dining table with this cute inexpensive table from, of all places, Walmart. It comes in white too. But my friend reminded me tables are very heavy and hard to get down the FEMA stairs and then to the landfill. And the WM table is super heavy, all real wood, 80 pounds!

Last week was Mo's Ten Years adoption anniversary. Just him and me but I made it special. Trader Joe's chicken and a candle, a party hat. He is always fascinated by celebrations, he knows the funny hat means--treats. We're saving the ice cream for warmer quieter days.
Hard to imagine ten years, how fast they have gone by. Mo arrived on that foggy June night, a very big boy for only ten weeks---he weighed 7pounds, 9 oz on the air manifest, I recall. And those big ears.

Small Bramble Berries update, last til finished I guess. This was odd, only time I have posted on Instagram and gotten NO likes or comments at all. Maybe everyone is very bored with my BB1. Post was noting that I added the blue blue seashell borders and auditioning another round of Beachballs. I like to see ideas on a site like IG, large image, a step back from one's photo roll.
I was sad, IG is usually so responsive. Message received: yawn.
We just had the world's shortest rain squall. It got very dark, wind blew, three raindrops fell--that was it. Sunday I am invited to a Father's Day BBQ. I hope I can go, the construction crew works weekends, so it's iffy.
Back soon, I hope, have a good weekend.
love
lizzy
gone to the beach..
this flamingo has been seen on Cape Cod and now on Long Island. I saw one years ago after maybe H Irene? But I would love to see him on my beach!
