pre easter

Jessica and I spent the day cleaning and preparing for Easter. Jessica painted on the wall in the wine bar 2 wine glasses and a bottle of wine and some grapes around the sign "life is too short to drink bad wine". Since the walls are wine colored she had a hard time getting the right color for the wine and the grapes. the grapes kind of blended into the wall too well. Jessica did a great job very artistic. here is also a picture of Desy helping us clean-- ha!
