Trim carpenters finished yesterday. They worked Saturday and on the 4th.

Suppose it had anything to do with those double-fudge brownies Charlotte baked them?

Amazing what happens toward the end of a building project. Little things (like window sills and baseboards) make all the difference.

Suddenly, the murky dreams of design and long hours of foundation work begin to take shape—it is going to be as beautiful as imagined (maybe better).

For one still in the murky-dream-phase of retirement, this is encouraging stuff.
