My living room has a fresh coat of paint and the cedar is finished on the outside of the house. All four of Dale’s sisters and one of their husband’s came and worked last night and today and it looks great! If we were paying Freddie we couldn’t afford him. Dale started the cedar when we moved in two years ago and then just never could get back to it. We knew after this summer that getting up on a ladder probably was not in his future at all so we might never have gotten it done on our own. Kinsey worked right along with him from 7:30 this morning til 4:30 this evening with a short break for hamburgers Dale cooked on the grill and home cooked fries. Pam even trimmed his roses for him and after we finished painting they all cleaned and everything is pretty much put back. It was great getting those things done but it was also fun spending time with them again. Freddie left a little while ago so he could get home tonight and get up and go hunting tomorrow when season opens. I hope I can think of something nice to do for him. I’m dog tired and just enjoying sitting in my living room admiring the paint job. Dale has been wandering around helping when he can and he is pretty worn out too. No alarm clock in the morning! I just hope I can move…
