Happy Birthday, Barnstorming
I don't have the time to do this entry justice, but I must post before the clock strickes midnight, for today marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Barnstorming. One year ago we posted this entry, a sort of primer on the challenge that faced us as we contemplated the task of renovating the barn. It contains some startling pictures.
One year ago today I still had five months left at my job, the barn was full of junk, we had no idea how we were going to get the work done, how we were going to support ourselves once we did. No idea that Robbi would be teaching at Washington College, that we would be painting murals on gallery walls, that I would have to use a stick to turn on the light by the utility sink, and only a vague idea who Samuel de Champlain was, what he did, or what he looked like.
Come to think of it, I still have no idea what he looked like.
This is what he looks like to me.
Ok, curiosity got the best of me. Here's what he actually looked like.
How disappointing.
I've lost the thread, but looking back, It has been a nutty year, a good year, a surprising, good, nutty year.
Then:
Now:
Happy Birthday, Barnstorming. There is no cake, alas, but we have some apple pie.
Unless Robbi has already eaten it.
