Thanks to the recently transplanted Jason, I’ve got two more albums crossed off the list at right. Thanks, brutha. It also looks like we have the thank-you cards done, so folks should be seeing them in the mail shortly. (Would you believe we still have the gifts piled high on the dining room table? We haven’t had time to put them away yet.) This evening I also applied a test coat of paint to the siding on the porch. It’s called “cloudless sky”, and it’s a light, slightly muted blue (we were originally thinking darker, but given the amount of sun this house sees, it’s probably better to stick with a lighter color) which should offset the white trim very well. I’m looking forward to getting this on the house. Next stop: Home Depot, for a 32′ aluminum ladder.

Rome Update. I posted the second half of Tuesday’s travelogue and most of Wednesday’s return trip on the honeymoon page.
