Home Improvement : Part 2 (upstairs)

Thor may be standing guard downstairs, but upstairs Boris reigns supreme! Natasha is, of course, hiding under the bed, as usual.

When Brad sent me these pictures last night, I was verklemmt. I still am. There are no words adequate to express my thanks for all the work that he and Jay have done in the three weeks since I left. While I was swanning around, sipping coffee in various sidewalk cafes and tormenting the locals with my fractured French, they were moving furniture, supervising painters and carpeters, boxing and unboxing over 3,000 books, making sure the cats weren't too traumatized. They are true friends indeed, and I can't thank them enough.
