I can't think of a more interesting title than that. Last weekend we had a work party and had such a wonderful turn out! Thank you to all who helped clean, paint and work in the garden! Here are some snapshots from the day.
 |
| Joanna has been doing highly detailed trim painting on the windows in my room. |
 |
| Aunt Mona worked really hard to clean walls and ceilings in prep for resurfacing. (in addition to everything else she did!) |
 |
| Dave primed the boy's entire room beautifully. |
 |
| Ava priming the bathroom. |
 |
| This takes some serious concentration! |
 |
| Roger and I doing the first coat to cover the dark green trim in the living room. We did so much work on the trim that was was dreaming about it at night. |
 |

 |
| It was a warm day! |
 |
| My dear sister Emma and Dad after spending the whole morning pulling out all the invasive brush and tree shoots from the front yard...a huge job! |
 |
| Sanding the play structure. |
 |
| It's a tough job but somebody has to do it! |
 |
| Everyone finds a way to help. |
 |
| Sweeping out the play structure with a cheerful attitude! |
 |
| These two focused on sanding boards together. It was a pleasure watching them cooporate. |
 |
| Waiting to sand..it's a popular job! |
 |

 |
| Tom came to wash windows! |
 |
| Taking a break with my mom who was over seeing the washing of the fence to chat on the porch. |
 |
| Juanita stayed late with me and painted trim. |
 |
| It is fun to work in a quiet house with a friend. |
 |
| I have developed a bad elbow from working in this very position for hours and hours. |
|
| Just to show comparison....here is what the trim used to look like. |
 |
| And after!! |
