Here’s the finished product…

Yesterday Mike put up the perpendicular tiles…

And today, he grouted everything…

Tiles, at last

Even without the grout, the tile looks great.

Once again there’s been a glitch and Steve didn’t move into his new house on the 15th. Furthermore, no new date has been set. Sooo… we’ve all been a little down.

I don’t have too many new pictures but here are a few.

This is on the SUNY Brockport campus in front of the library. We walk by here every day and on this morning, we’d stopped for a minute while Mike took a stone out of his boot. Constructed in Russia, they were donated to the school by the sculptor in celebration of the participants in the Special Olympics which were held here in the summer of1979.

It seems to be rather late in the season for such a young duckling, but s/he and mama seem unperturbed by the increasing signs that fall is arriving.

Mike has built two of these benches for the back porch.

Still painting
