 Hello my friends! I thought I'd give a little update as to the status of things with our flooded home. It actually looks pretty good on the outside. We did have pressure washing done but the inside, oh, I'll walk through real quickly. But here's the good news. These are the things that I tucked away upstairs before the flood waters came and I am just so excited. Some of my art supplies and I do have our other home is being renovated and I'm very close to being able to put things back into an art studio. It's an old house but it's newly renovated. So look at these prize gyms here that I've got. Yay! There's my precious little pastels again. I'm so excited. I need more greens. I actually have more greens in another box. But anyway, this is just so exciting for me. So there is a rainbow after the storm and the rain. But in case anybody wonders, hi! What a house looks like after a flood. Let me turn on some lights here. Again, we've done nothing but tear out a little bit of flooring and look at that. This is all the yucky flood waters that come in and water came up to about two to three feet in the house. Anything that was left in the house is ruined. Of course, all doors, baseboards, flooring, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, everything has to be redone. So yeah, it's a mess. But you know what? It's okay. Like I always say, we had too much stuff anyway. But it's a beautiful home when it's restored. Oh, we're not a Chili's restaurant. We had that in our garage. But anyway, yeah, so look at the pool. Don't you want to just take a swim? So we're gonna slowly get things back together here and it's going to be better than it looked before when we get it renovated. So this was the former Monet cafe. And of course everything's moved out. I am gonna steal those track lights to put in my new studio. But this is the little upstairs area I had where I just urgently and very quickly put everything that I put up there to save it. I've got all of my artwork is up there too. But anyway, so these few little pastels that I rescue today are going to the future Monet cafe. And I am just feeling all of your love and your prayers. And I can't wait to get painting again soon. But until then, you guys are blessing me with your beautiful works and your beautiful hearts. Wow, you guys are so helpful for each other. So until then, happy painting.
