stopping and starting

on saturday mathew worked on the house while i visited my grandmother and helped with holiday stuff.

ben & jerrymom and jason

but turtle wasn’t completely alone, he got a visit from daniel (his dad) and younger brother elijah (visiting from santa barbara.) they had a short ben & jerry’s break together. my parents and older brother also dropped by to check out the progress.

more plumbingsoldering

we’re both happy to say the upstairs plumbing is almost done! (above) some late night pipe soldering (looking turtle-y on the right.) i wanted to watch a movie but i helped with framing, pipe cutting and prep instead.

carrot cake

daniel brought us a housewarming carrot cake! yummmm… and it was made by my client: just desserts (i do their labels.)

glass pod

and another housewarming gift: a beautiful, japanese, hand-blown glass pod (bud vase) a gift from midori and andy during thanksgiving weekend.
