Handing the camera over to Evelyn's friend Edith during the photo hanging; I was free to roam, assist, search for needed materials around the Chatette, and give an opinion or two. I lost count how many times I ran up and down those 10 plus stone steps last night, but every step brought us closer to an incredible presentation ready for Friday night.
Patrick arrived on his moto, pulled all his tools out of the back and as always...came totally prepared with hanging materials. I had to run off to get the "Scotch" (the tape not the booze), scissors, and a few other odds and ends from time to time, but Msr. Larribe is an old pro and speed demon in this process. Not only did he persnally build our very professional lighting system, he hangs the art work every year-this being our 5th! We finished quickly, with a few works requiring special problem solving, but then it was on to aperos and good conversation with new and old friends on the terrace.
Patrick is priceless...a master of many! He and Allain will return today to help me move the 18th century plow over to the barn and also fix a broken light switch in the bathroom...who needs a husband when you have friends like this?
Huge merci to everyone-Josie, Patrick, René, Chantal, Allain and, of course, Evelyn and Edith.
