New addition to the family.....Sheena!
While we were in Texas, at the Nascar race, Jimmy went in to Petsmart to get some dog stuff, and when he came out to the car, he told me I had to come in at look at this kitty. She looks like a cross between a Seal Point Siamese and a snow leopard Bengal kitty.....but she was a pound kitty and it was adoption day....
Having been over 30 years since I've been without a kitty (I lost my last one in February 2012), I fell in love with her blue eyes! They said she was a year old, but I think she's more like 7 or 8 months. The last picture, she's upside down, saying good morning to Shadow!
Working Twins!
Matthew is working for us, to help get this house done in the next 5 weeks..... but his brother, James, works with his other brother Stefan (sp?) for Donnie, the electrician...the funny thing was they were all working on my house! Matt and James are twins and Matthew travels and does"Mountain Board ".....an extreme sport.....which is like a snowboard with big wheels....bigger than a skateboard. Watch for Matthew Silva! Matt's in the purple.....
Birthday present!
See my fancy vanity stool?!!!
It is really over the top......but what a fun birthday present from Jimmy! It goes great in my new bathroom!

Color change.....
Next was the color change......
I absolutely freaked out when I saw how dark it was.....then I actually got to like it, but thank heavens it lightened up when it dried! I have no definite line between rooms, so I had them blend the colors at certain points for a smooth transition.
If you'd like to see the pictures bigger, just double click on the picture...it'll blow up bigger......
The American Clay...color walls!
They started in the kitchen, then when they went to change colors, the hopper machine broke! After overnighting in parts...we were back in business......

Back to the house.......
Got home on Monday to find that JJ (Jimmy's godson,) and his friend that we hired for the last big push to finish the house, had done all the re-bar and tubing for the radiant heat on the downstairs back porch.....ready for pouring cement.
Quick trip!
Friday before noon we left for a quick trip to Ft.Worth for the wedding of our
SORTA child....beautiful little Leanne Black. Rick's daughter. After some line dancing and cutting the cake, at Billy Bob's, Club 81...we had to get going,
Leaving early for Lubbock to pick up the crown molding and corbels, etc. for the house. Back to Alto and parked by 5:00pm.
