Yeah, there is a reason why I am posting photos of the bathroom door that was in our hotel room at Crystal last week. They're here for my master craftsman to peek at. If you saw my fence gate, you'd understand. Whatcha think there Tom? Can it be done?

Will it ever stop raining? The sun is out this morning, the wind is blowing, but there are huge gray clouds coming over the lake. Everything is wet. I've tried to keep the patio cushions dry but it's pointless. The end of summer is coming faster than I anticipated and I'm not yet ready for it to go. The thought that flip flops and tank tops are a thing of the past is depressing.

I have 2 beautiful new willow trellis' in my garden. They still need to be mounted. They are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you, dear friend, for them.

Ed's bummed this AM, learning that turning off the TV last night before the Michigan State/Notre Dame game was over was a mistake. Notre Dame ended up winning in the last 2 minutes.
