Arrived here July 6th and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. Between trying to finish the airstream “remodel” spending time with Jesse and the family it’s been quite busy. As usual not much time to see friends or do much except have time with the family.

Talk about irony the whole time I was in Santa Fe (dry and hot) I was working with amber varnish that dries way too quick and it caused me much grief. Now I’m in the east where it is way humid and I’m working with polyurethane which dries way too slow and needs heat and dry to work. But this 3 day remodel that has now been in my life for almost 4 months will be over soon and it’s starting to look quite good.

The family party for Barnaby and his bride to be, Tsugumi was quite interesting. Their wedding is to be held in Japan next year. They are off for an extended journey through out Europe and the middle east then plan to settle down in Japan.

Did get to have dinner with Jeffrey and Tondra Lynford and their son Drew. Went to a great little eatery in Katonah(see below). Had hoped to make a portrait of the owners but time didn’t work out. Next pass through.

Sad to drop Jesse off at the airport. Had a good time with him and hate to see him go. It’s hard to let the birds fly off from the nest….

Back on the road in the morning….
