Life continues to roll for SIT in 2017. If you recall I had
mentioned more about the wall and my new projects last I wrote. This post reveals all! Well not all, what
would I tell you about next time if I did that!
The something old has to do with fishing and projects. We
were able to get out fishing one day when the water was calm enough for us to
fish along the rock jetty at the inlet. We caught a variety of fish that day
but one new species for us. It is called a “look-down” fish. Don’t know why but
I would assume it looks down when it swims. Maybe it is a bit klutzy like me
and needs to watch carefully so it doesn’t bump into things! Anyway they were
fun to catch and both of us enjoyed the fight they provided. They were returned
to the water to pursue their own adventures.
Look I caught one too
On the way in to the boat ramp we stopped and fished in the
shade of a barge that was anchored. I hooked something that felt like jaws.
Well it made me reel for quite some time. It was a skip jack but the biggest
one we have caught to date. They are not good eating fish so it was sent back
to swim off into the shade!

Keeping An Eye On Us
We have also managed to play golf and enjoy some more walks.
This flat bill was hanging out with us at a tee box. First one we have seen
this time around. Izzy has also been able to come out and play, a walk at the
jetty, and then fun at the dog beach.
The feature wall in the house began and finished. It looks
pretty nice and adds a bit more character to the room. Izzy had to inspect
since she is the foreman on all our projects. We are slowly finding decorating
treasures to enhance the wall.
Calculating
Progress
My new adventure has been taking a couple of classes and
then taking what I have learned and applying it. You are wondering what it is, aren’t
you? Well it is all about chalk paint.
So we bought four chairs from the Habitat for Humanity
Restore place. Two matched and two did not. Then I tackled them and gave them
new life. Two of them I reupholstered and two, I just cleaned the fabric. It
has been fun learning new techniques and I will be tackling a few more projects
with my new knowledge as well as getting my painting going again.

That's Better
So now you know what has been happening in our world. Steve
is contributing to this by finding treasures and saying you can paint this
can’t you? So that’s your teaser to stay tuned for more from SIT!
