Home refreshing!

So much has happened this summer! Now it's September, and time to settle down and settle in to work, fiscal responsibility, the new TV season, and the wind-up towards Christmas (yes, choir starts next Sunday). But let's take a look back at all the fun...

It all started with the Agrifair on the July 1st weekend (oh yeah, already posted about that one), a very fun
Cousins' Day, then an unforgettable Phantom of the Opera, Bard on the Beach, and the traditional visits to the PNE.

And in the midst of it all, a little project to add some colour to my life. What do cats have to do with painting and new furniture? Everything, if they can get away with it. I couldn't have done it without Kendra's hard work, or had so much fun doing it. There are more pictures
here if you want to see the pretty colours I found for my bedrooms.


Mr. Knightley helped us pull the old (ugly) border from the wall of my guest room. Notice the pretty blue baseboards, which thankfully are now a beautiful white!


Sorry, this one is a bit fuzzy, but it's still one of my favourites. Emma loved the new bookshelves, at least until I filled them with books and put the doors on.

Oh, I lovepainting a new colour in a room. It does good things for my heart. Your colours look so cheery! I love the green for your room.

A content kitty is a happy thing in this life. :)

Kendra blogged today. . . pressure's on :)

I know you have Christmas concert stuff going on so you can be excused for a few days at least. But you happen to have photos from this concert, well hey, I'd love to see them.

Who's this "anonymous"? Doesn't have the guts to say his/her name?

Well, I've been caught! I guess being busy won't excuse me from at least visiting my own blog from time to time! So I can't blame anonymous for trying to keep me on my toes. Thanks, anonymous cranberry monster. You may have taken an intentional break from blogging, but it seems I took one without meaning to. I'll do better next year, I promise.

Claire, unfortunately I don't have pictures, but there will be a DVD of the production soon.

Mr. Knighlry says "hi!", as he makes me finish this comment one-handed...
