Rhymoceros is a thick book. It’s a big board book with 16 images of a rhinoceros. To be clear, it’s the same 16 pictures of the rhinoceros doing some very silly things.

This was our almost two year appointment after being diagnosed with melanoma.

Molding is normally a blessing. It can accentuate rooms of any size and provide depth and elegance. Our house however, has too much molding. It has so many angles that M.C. Escher would’ve called it confusing. We have molding around the molding that’s goes around our windows. There is even molding around the light switches. Our project today is to remove the molding that goes past the window area.
