paying remainder for exterior painting

The painter called. Payment will be going out on "Bill Pay."

Remlick, Virginia

Josephine married Irvy "Mike" Hudgins and they reared their son and two daughters on N. Bayhaven (headed toward Mad Calf Lane). He always had a wonderful garden of vegetables over the decade. One by one his parents died, also her (mother?). Joesphine was from Redart. Raise your hand because I probably already told that the name is a backwards spelling ("Trader") just as "Remlick" is backwards spelling of "Kilmer" - I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. Something about foreign invasion fear(s) in one of the world wars.

powerwash start

Originally scheduled to begin Monday, this is Tuesday and the painter (contractor) is supposed to begin today doing the powerwashing and other preparation (prime?) for the "sea glass" green two coats with all the trip two coats in white. The other time this cottage was painted, the house painter was Grandma Chee-Chee.

exterior encapsulation (paint and trim)

I believe the last time the entire exterior was painted (a light green) was between the time of swapping cottages (and purchase of the strip of land we call "bird sanctuary") and the last time Chee-Chee was at the cottage in 1997 (around June). Now is time to get two coats of new paint (Valspar) after power washing - also all the white trim two coats - professional painter Steve.

long forgotten cottenwood massive tree

Gwynn is an Island right on the Chesapeake. The first time for me was 1966 and there was a majestic cottonwood standing not even 200 feet from the shore. The tree is no longer. I do miss it, even though it was solitary. There is a much shorter live oak which hangs on and is the shape of the winds coming off the Bay. Hummingbirds even built a nest in the live oak.
