It (the painting) is Finished!

Here's an article that appeared in a local magazine about our Bogmeisters. (Remember you can always click on any photo to enlarge it for better viewing.)

The painters have gone and Dee and I are suffering withdrawal from having them in our home the last 8 days. But we'll get over it as we see the difference they've made in our living environment. Here's a photo of the stairs and loft in the new color.

Last night's Bogmeister practice went well and we're going to be ordering tickets for the July 19 Pittsburgh Pirates game when we'll be singing the National Anthem. If you'd like to go with us and sit with us, let me know asap because we'll be ordering tickets in the next week or so. Make the check out to me and I'll write one check to five to the guy ordering the tickets for us. They are $20 per person and you get a Pirate Cap with the seat. Kids also get a Pirate Pillow that day. (Speaking of caps etc. I need some Pirate clothing items for our open house on May 4. Anyone out there have a shirt or hat or banner or anything with a Pittsburgh Pirate logo I could borrow for the open house? I'd get it back to you as soon as the open house is over.)

The great raccoon hunter brought this trap back and we're in the hunt again to capture Rocky Raccoon's sister Rachel. She's been seen sniffing around in areas where she's not welcome.(Like near our hot tub!) Hopefully we'll catch the critter in the next day or so as the temperatures get milder. The snow on the ground (yesterday (fleeting as it was) is a reminder that Spring has not quite yet sprung. However, the weather guy said that March this year had only a "trace" of snow for the month in Pittsburgh, and that that ties a record set only two other times in the last 200 years or so.
