Mom, Bear and I have been hard at work this month. We're finishing the deck and porch, and painting the house and garage... purple! Okay, technically, the house is a shade of deep blue, but to me it looks purple. How awesome is that, living in a purple house?
Those of you who have seen our HaliHouse know that it was formerly painted in tones that could only have been inspired by a detention centre of possibly a concentration camp: grey and black. Kind of dull in the summer, downright depressing in the winter. Now, it is a deep, vibrant shade of blue/purple, with white trim. (Or it's getting there, anyway.) It looks kind of sporty--like a team jersey or sailing clothes. I love it!
One neighbour's response to the new colour: "Purple! Looks great! I love it!"
Another neighbour's response: "You're not really painting it that colour, are you?"
Heh, heh heh.

I painted a sculpture project purple once.. I got a lower grade than I would've had I left it white, but _I_ thought it looked cool...

You should give your house a jersey number, too. Or the house and the garage can be players on different teams, and they are rivals...

Pictures! Please!
Hey Becca...so you're finally painting the house?! I'm pretty upset that I'm not there to spend some days up at the maison Soholt/Babcock helping out and getting all purply! Please send pics when it's done, and i guess I have some pretty great changes to check out next time i'm in town.
Love-Nik
