Reclaiming the Desk by hjbenson

Reclaiming the Desk

It has been months since I have seen the top of this desk in the corner of our living room. I surprised Gail by taking and putting everything in its proper place and now I can use this desk again. On the desk are a couple of pictures of Gail & I, plus each of our parents wedding photos. The painting above the desk is one that my Mother did.
wanna come clean off my shelves in my room? You did a great job, looks so neat and tidy and organized.

I'm envious of your clean desk. Your mom was a painter? My mom was into painting and I could never understand the attraction. She did take wonderful pictures and I did pick up on that trait, if only a little! Was your mom a photographer, too?

Very nice pic and desk looks neat as a pin. Damn now I realize I must clean mine up.

CONGRATS! I'm rearranging my office to create a little "studio" ... maybe I'll find my desk in the process ;)

I bet Gail is quite pleased! Good work!

Wow. I wish my husband would surprise me like this, lol.
Is the painting by your Mom the one that you posted in your project before?
