Busman's Holiday

We're on a nomadic vacation in the Midwest,  now visiting wonderful old friends in Scott's hometown. Of course, we realize early on that there is plasterwork happening on the second floor of their home. Scott offers pointers on the job, but I urge him to help out for real. How can he resist? Scott has a project to work on.Too good to be true! 

For other reasons at this point, I would say that we have upended the lives of these lovely people. Last night as we fell asleep, I told Scott, "We are the worst houseguests ever." We have high hopes that everyone will recover fully and soon.

Scott in his element


Andreas on the job

A little plastering lesson

I so wish I'd gotten Andreas gouging out the cracks with an enormous nail Scott brought from Brooklyn (Scott comes prepared for almost anything). Truly, how many times in one's life does a woman tell her 4-year-old child to attack a wall with a 6-inch nail?

Actually, I did get a photo of Andreas gouging cracks with the nail.
