You're making me hanker badly for a Mexico dive trip--though all of my experience is Yucatan peninsular. I'd love to hear more about where you're diving and what it's like. And I love a good eel tale--plus, I think morays feel like oiled velvet. I've enjoyed your winter's postings. Have a safe trip north.

Enjoyed your story and pics! Too bad your scarlet snake was a DOR. I am always impressed with your pics. That was a really cool post you had a while back with pics of the red milks you found this year. I always look at your backgrounds. Elephant ear leaves, old boards, moss covered rocks. Some of those really make the snake stand out. I don't think everyone realizes how difficult it is to get a snake to cooperate sometimes!

Juliekcmo, thanks, I like the Glacier Blue too, but darn that is the one blue on my swatch board above that I don't have in real life. I was thinking of buying a sample. The last thing I want is for this to get busy:) I could wait for some things to be installed before the painting. But I wanted the sink base painted in the shop. The other cabinets could wait. What does this sound like?: First Color: I am going to paint the ceiling & trim that same as the upper walls, one of the very light bluish to periwinkle gray colors mentioned above. Second Color: There will be a lot of white with the tile. Third Color: A light tone for the Sink base, dark tone for the tall standing cab that is on the same color card. I am leaning to the Sea Life for the dark, so that means the sink would be Misty Memories. Fourth Color Idea: To paint the 2 other built-in's, (the one at the tub, and to the right of sink) in another light grayish color.

I know I was sitting in this very spot a few hours ago, thinking I should be packing. Lol..but well...I am a procrastinator...and really the things I will take with me, I'll use up until we move. Lol.. I was looking at my husbands CD collection and video/dvd's and thinking he should just get rid of it..lol. I am looking at ORB in the new house. Hubby wants to go with a darker stain on his new bar stools he built. So I think they would pick that up. Plus ORB just needs a wipe and a dry. Where right now with my nickel, I have to "rub" a bit to shine em back up.
