With all the excitement of visiting family, and completing a mural commission, I spaced off writing about our new home. We moved in to our 2008 Excel 35LMKO at Guthrie Center Iowa, May 25. We have loved getting to know it, figuring out where to store things and decorate it.
We found some nice accents in Coralville Iowa, red throw pillows, a nice red runner for the rear shelf under the TV. We even have a nice place to place candlesticks and some photo frames. Thanks to 3M we have been able to hang a mirror with a woodburned and painted border I made for Ellen several years ago, as well as our white board and cork bulletin board. Our new home feels more like a home, as opposed to an RV. The photo was taken at Kennedy Park in Fort Dodge.
Oh, and while in Fort Dodge, I had the honor of doing some mural work at Trinity Regional Medical Center. They are developing an area for joint replacement rehabilitation. They wanted a 'camp' theme, so I painted a rustic sign on one wall, applied a tree bark texture to 3 pillars, and completed a north-woodsy lake mural that is about 5' by 20'. The staff there was thrilled with the results, which is always extremely gratifying to an artist. I was happy with the outcome as well as the remuneration.
