3rd January 2019
Yet again we were on route to Painted Farmgirl in Hudsonville. The tall dresser was safely in the back of the truck, and I was sucking on the last of my mints that I had for Christmas. The sun was shining on the snow covered landscape. It was a good day to be out.
We manhandled the dresser into position, moving a few of the items I had attached to the wall only a few days before, I am used to that.
After lunch at the winery, we headed back to the house.


I had borrowed a skill saw from Dave, I was keen to cut the tops for the side tables. It came in a steel box, and inside was a beautiful polished aluminium machine. Obviously quite old, at a time when things were made to last. Everything about it was solid, and it cut through the board like butter.
I also decided to prime the top part of the hutch, that took longer than I thought, all the knocks and crannies were a real drag, the fumes from the paint, didn’t make the experience very pleasant.
As a treat, Kelli had made a apple crunch, that is so good that I would lick the bowl afterwards, the only time I would do it without the risk of the seat slamming down on my neck(note! This is an old joke not found in Bob’s archives, but I like to use it when I can)
