August has been a hot month! And I'm not just talking about the heat! I've been so busy that I am not sure if I am coming or going or just gettting back from where I went. We've had visitors. My darling sister, Marlene and her daughter Johnsie and Johnsie's two sons, Alex and Ethan came for a visit the first week of August! I enjoyed their visit so much. Marlene and I went searching for things to go in her home to create a lodge look. We visited the Lake and Lodge store in Arcadia, Indiana. We went to lunch at the Loon Lake Lodge on 82nd street. She loved that place with their animated bears and various other wildlife. And we went to the Shellhouse in Indianapolis. It's a 5 story storage building which is owned by my husband. She found a love seat and rocker that will be perfect in her lodge living room. The boys played a lot of croquet and I do mean a lot! 
Ethan won the championship tournament!Then a week after they went back to North Carolina, my son, Ben came for a two week visit from Los Angeles. He wanted to meet his new niece - Korrine. Like the rest of us, he just melted at the sight of her. It is always love at first sight with that baby. And of course he was constantly finding ways to have adventures with his two brothers and sister. Somehow a garden cart became a ready made ricshaw (sp?) Having him home was wonderful!
Also, I want to mention something wonderful that happened during HOT! August. My youngest son, Harrison, my baby, got engaged to the lovely Brittany B. They have been going together for almost 5 years and plan a July 09 wedding. 
On top of all of that, I found out at the end of Jul
y that the renters in the back of the building are expanding their business and will be taking over my studio. They need my wonderful space. So for the past 3 weeks I have been boxing up and moving to the other side of the building into a space I have come to call "The Inner
Sanctum." It's basically 2 huge supply closets. I'm including a few pictures of the move in process.
There is nothing like moving to clue a person into the fact that they have too much stuff. These pictures are the before pictures... though I did have a bunch of boxes piled up in the room on the left. At this point, the last week of August, I have almost completed the move out. I will post some more pictures in a day or so to show all the stuff that needs to be put away. It was just imperitive that I get the space cleared out as they have semi trucks on the way with stuff that will fill that wonderful space.
