Eleventh Anniversary of 8/8/8

Wow! It has already been a year since I made a painting of Daughter's house 

for the 10th Anniversary of her buying her House of Dreams.  

I was painting it this week a year ago, completed it on the 21st, and gave it to her on the 26th.

The House...

The Painting...

You can buy a one bedroom condo in this building for about a million dollars!

St. Mary's in Charlestown, MA circa 1887

Can you tell I recently made a visit to Charlestown?

 My Great Great Grandparents were married in the original St. Mary's, a humble church that burned.  

This is the church that replaced it.  They were some of the original members of this congregation. 

 It was the first Roman Catholic church built in Boston after the Cathedral downtown.
