One more painted illustration from the Smoketown neighborhood, including the latest addition on Finzer Street (the yellow house in the middle). Thanks to Habitat for Humanity, Carolyn (afore mentioned) will be the owner of the new home in ‘07. She tells me she already knows several of her neighbors, and although she doesn’t understand the woman immediately to her right (A Somali who is still working on her english), she likes everyone she’s met. It’s not surprising that the street is giving Carolyn a warm welcome, since all but one are Habitat houses.

Stay posted for a piece about the dedication of this house. The standard Habitat for Humanity house dedication ceremony always makes for joyful news, inspiring speeches, astonishing stories, a few tears, and in this case, a great painting.
