Jimmy vs James

When we got home late, the only light downstairs was coming from my stereo.

Our third mosaic to work on. Helena wasn’t with us, and Ada didn’t get much work done, but Liam did a great job with a “fall hill”

This mosaic will be put on the Bryant Square Park building in parts.

Ada says, “So they are trying to rap?”
