Looks Good to Me!

Push-pins & ‘looks good to me’ vs. little nails, a level, measuring tape, hammer, pencil, thread, & painter’s tape.

Being married to master perfectionist Marvin is like combining Marvin AND Goss Dansby, Tate Thomas, Todd Gatewood, and Holmes on Homes into 1 body to hang pictures in the hallway.  These pictures cluster (with 2” between each picture) around the word FAMILY with this quote:  “Simple moments create lasting memories.”  Marvin brandished a level to stretch thread across the wall; the thread marked the horizontal line of sight and was held in place by painter’s tape. 

The pictures are randomly balanced by size, family relationship and by colors in the picture (my contribution). They are a blend of action photos such as the one with Marvin doing the “1-2-3 Jump!” with 3 grandchildren as they think he will join them to inaugurate  the pool for the summer! Another shows Brooke’s face with birthday cupcake icing when we surprised her at her classroom.  There are several posed pictures of our grown children and their spouses and girlfriends. A wild Mexican Dominoes game is featured along with a line-up at the ticket booth for rides at the Labor Day Picnic.

Anyone seeing these pictures of our blended family with the smiles and genuinely happy expressions will know how much we love them all.  Surely someone will remark, “Oh, look how marvelously level those pictures are!”
