On the Oxford Campus in Oxford, England . . . Photo and enhancement by Chris Duffy
The ceiling is all repaired, and it was relatively quick and painless. I’m impressed. I was afraid that since it was their fault and we weren’t having to pay for the repair that they’d take their sweet time about fixing it, but that was not the case. It’s amazing how they can fix something like that and not even leave a scar. I don’t think anybody would ever be able to tell that someone stuck their foot through the ceiling.
I’ll be heading to Oklahoma City next week end (not this one, but the next week end) so Alice and I can plan our October “sister trip”. It’s kind of funny how two grown women can get so excited about taking vacations together. . . . without our husbands. It’s not that we don’t dearly love our husbands, it’s just that their idea of a vacation and our idea of a vacation are worlds apart. We love to take pictures . . . not just a few, but hundreds of them. And that just baffles our husbands. My hubby would be happy if I left my camera at home when we are on vacation together.
Let’s see, our sister trip is only about 2 1/2 months away now. I’m already getting excited, even if we’re just going to Austin, TX.

I’m excited too :fun: :fun: :fun: :fun: :fun: :fun:
I’m really surprised that they were able to fix the hole in the ceiling all in one day. That is amazing. Did they paint it too?
Actually two days, Alice. The first part was done Monday and they finished Tuesday. And, yes, they did paint it.
:littlekiss:Tickled pink that you are coming to Okc. Love Mom.
It’s exciting just planning a trip. I bet the two of you really have a ball together! :fun:
I’m glad that they fixed your ceiling so fast and so well that you can’t even tell it.
Lots happening in your neck of the woods from workmen putting feet through ceilings to vacation planning. Really fine photos and art work again. I’ve missed a lot of them. The black and white your daddy took of family on the split rail fence is a keeper. I’m sorry I didn’t get into photography years ago. My uncle was like your dad, he had his darkroom and all the equipment. I know he did it all but I’ve never seen much in the way of photos.

So much to look forward to…must look at some more of your photography…lovely :sunny:
I LOVE sister trips!!! It is fun going with my husband, too, but think sister trips are even better since we enjoy doing the same things. Have taken two cruises with my sister–hubby won’t set foot on a ship. Wonderful memories.
