Lily Sings in Her Sleep

Lily chose to be Aisling for Halloween. I am going to use this post as a starting/reference point.

The movie, “The […]

Painting and the Mud

Lily assisted in painting the front room today, and she spent a good bit of time with me the day before yesterday splatting mud on the wall in the laundry room. I have had to skip trowel the entire room to compensate for the tile glue, wall paper, and missing sheet rock. I am very […]
