This door is the east bedroom.The wall color
will be green in this room.
These double doors are for the upstair linen closet. Last week the wind blew over one door and smashed the ant. stained glass. It also happened to the door we bought for the master bedroom. I was just sick when I walked in the barn and the door was face down in the dirt with ever single piece completely shattered. Luckily right here in the Burg we have a very talented glass company that repairs and designes beautiful stained glass. You should see some of the church windows he has repaired. We are now searching in England and Germany for the replacement glass for the linen closet. All these doors have mailslots and door hardware still intact. We will be covering the openings with pushplates for those how might insist on peeking!

this is our crown molding. It is an egg and dart theme. It comes primed and ready to paint. The other crown is wood and needs primed. There are perfectly good reasons why they are not the same, believe me.!

Other than the house life is pretty routine. Up at 7 and available for any part of the house job that needs done in the way of decision making. Sometimes I stress on the finals but if I think through it one item at a time it usually works out just fine. Right now it is paint colors and wow is that challenging. The worst thing ever invented was the color wheel! Just too may darn choices. I never knew there were so darn many shades of WHITE!
The weather here is depressing. We have 4 inches in the rain gauge outside. Enough already! Next week we are suppose to have 2 more days of rain. I find myself "quacking" every now and then. When I went into the HEB today it was not raining. When I was getting to the door, in just a very short time, it was pouring again. I decided to wait for it to lighten up so I just stood there and was amused at peoples reactions as they were about to step outside. It was quite comical to see their shoulders just drop. "not again" they would say. Everyone was caught without their umbrellas because it was NOT raining just moments before.
Jennifer, Marin, Ainsley and friend Theresa joined me last weekend for a short but fun visit. It was very very cold. The temp was down around 20 overnight and everything was quite muddy of course. It seems every time they come this way it has either just rained or rains on our time together. It isn't as much fun for the girls to be drug around town with us. They would rather be at Grami's ranch playing outside and just being kids. We shopped a little and ate alot. Pizza always seems to be the food that warms us up. We have a great pizza place called West End which has outstanding food.
Speaking of food there is a new place called Crossroads that will be the most awsome venue Fredericksburg has to offer. There will be jazz, blues and acustical guitar. We met the owner and she has made the tajmahal(sp) out of it. If the level of entertainment stays good and doesn't turn into another "bar, hangout, sports bar" it will be fantastic. Come to think about it there was not a tv in the area we were in. We will be checking it out and doing a review of the food once they get the kitchen up and running. Can't wait.
Some of the stores are in the process of changing owners on Main Street. It will be exciting to have a few newbies on the strip. It is always changing around here and that is part of what makes living here so fun.
until next time stay dry and if you see the sun run outside and stand in it and enjoy!
love to everyone back home.
