Busy day!

Bob and I both had the day off because he had to go in for his first colonoscopy. It wasn't how he would choose to spend a morning, but as we were told, the prep is worse than the test. It went well, everything looked good and he doesn't have to have another one for 10 years!

We were back home by noon, so we thought we better do some more painting.

Here are the dining room windows, taped and opened up; all ready to have primer put on.

We got primer put on all the cabinets and wood trim and were even able to get the windows and trim completely painted. The cabinets need to be painted yet, but at least the primer is on. Painting windows and trim is a tedious job and I'm glad to have that part done!

Trading Spaces?

I love the television shows that show people redoing a room. This week my sister Terri and I got to do our own little makeover at my Dad's house. We have been bugging him to do a little painting at his house but until he got married last week, we didn't get anywhere. Now however, he has decided it is time for a change. Terri and I were invited to come and paint his bedroom. It was a pale green yellow color, and they wanted it painted light blue to go with a quilt that Anne's daughter made. We spent the day painting and although we are not quite Extreme Home Makeover, I think it looked pretty good when we finished. They have ordered new carpet and were also putting in a new light fixture.We had fun working together, even though we missed Cheri, who wasn't able to come. As we were finishing that room, we were told that he had purchased paint for the living room too, so I guess there is more painting in our future!
