Let me sum it up for you

Hmm, where did I leave off? Between work, internship and procrastination, I've neglected my blog just a little bit!

So hence I will sum up the past few days at Villa Finale. Things are definitely coming together. The dining room is almost fully put together, the library looks great, the napoleon parlor still needs some work and we are moving things around upstairs finally.Karina and Tina have been helping out as the other interns (although both don't speak much) and the docents (including Bumbling Ed, who I am sure to make an appearance in my posts) are being trained by Sylvia, the director of public affairs I believe. Also, I will miss the company of Tobin.

Last Thursday was Tobin's last day before she heads back to SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). We had a fun day including going on a quest to steal(borrow) forks Christ the grounds manager's desk in the Carriage House and playing Where Does the Retablo go on the giant arc of Retablo paintings on the wall upstairs. I will miss her talking to me about San An and her life. She's definitely an interesting girl.

Things are moving ahead for the opening on the 30th. More to come.
