Claudine Longet

Some times it’s just better to do something oneself, especially if one is very critical of life in general. By that I mean I notice every little detail both good and bad. I hired a painter to  paint the trim on my house and of course almost bit my lip off just watching the prep work get started .Absolutely nothing was moved,  pretty soon I had flaking paint all over the porch furniture all over the door matt that I looked everywhere for,  all caked with soaking wet paint chips. Not to mention the fabulous light fixtures were hit with 500 lbs of water….That was It!  I figured I’d better take over, so here is a photo of my slow progress.  I am finding painting to be very slow and tiring and yet somewhat therapeutic. There is plenty of time to listen to my favorite music or to discover in this case

 new,  Claudine Longet. It is amazing this woman ever had a career, and yet she had several very popular albums (remember those, great big black plastic disks) her wispy voice and almost tongue tied pronunciation is mesmerizing to me.  I find myself singing along for hours…I hope in these photos you can see the ceiling I painted it aqua LOVE it . I almost always paint ceilings a color, a favorite person of mine taught me that years ago, pink mostly (more about that some other time) any way I have got to stop rambling on so take a look and maybe let me know what you think….
