GHREB, Where Have You Been?

We’ve been a little quiet over here at the GHREB during July and August. So what exactly have we been up to?

1. Lots of work. Stressful work. The market is a little crazy right now and people are being cranky. More about that in an upcoming post this week.

2. Indoor projects around our house. Amy has been up painting late in the night again. The bright pink back stairway is now gone. Two bedrooms have been painted. Things are looking fresh and clean. Benjamin Moore is richer as a result.

3. Outdoor projects around our house. We had a big rotting tree taken down. We’re having some new fencing put up. We’ve planned some new gardens.

4. More work.

5. Evening trips to the beach. The Bergquist family is what you would call pale. We don’t do well in the sun. But we still like the beach. Well, Amy and Ellen do. So we make early evening trips down to Hammonasset and spend about an hour or two once the sun has retreated somewhat. And then Amy gets to eat fried clams. All is happy when Amy gets fried clams.

6. Planning our house’s 100 Year Birthday Celebration which will take place in September. So there, Hartford Preservation Alliance!

We’ll be back to more dedicated blogging in the upcoming weeks as summer winds down. We hope you had an enjoyable summer too. What have you been up to?
