Painting the cottage & garage

Growing up, Joy & I had many many movie favorites-- most of them with very catchy songs in them.  One we always watched was Pete's Dragon.  We dreamed of living in a lighthouse on the shores of Maine in Passamaquoddy.  We had no idea that it was a real township or that we would actually move to Maine.

So when Brian started scraping the exterior of the cottage and garage in preparation of

 repainting it, I couldn't help but think of a scene from Pete's Dragon.  The family gets out their bucket of white paint and slather it all over that lighthouse!  Watch it here- I'm telling you, it's catchy!  

All our Brazzle Dazzle years have just begun!  :)
