I want to do something besides....

PAINT!!!  Please....

Saturday was my monthly Modern Quilt Guild meeting so I didn't make it to the house until around 3pm...or maybe later...
Rich took off around 7am and got the rest of the front of the house painted.  By the time I got there he was ready to quit, so I helped him finish trimming the windows on the garage.  There were three windows and none of them had any trim...  Then we ate dinner. Rich put a pork butt on the smoker and we had pulled pork sandwiches and then headed to town to see Cowboys and Aliens.  It was ok...a great way to spend the evening...

Sunday morning  Kristin brought over already cooked homemade pork sausage, a coffee cake and some mini-muffins..I added scrambled eggs and fruit and we had a great breakfast.  With all that food, we didn't even stop for lunch..The grandkids start school tomorrow.  Owen will be in third grade and Ava starts kindergarten.  Where has the time gone.  The other grandkids will start school on Thursday.  Grace in fourth, Jackson in third and Abbie started a new day care that is working out wonderfully...

I hope the mosaics look OK.  I am learning how to use Big Huge Labs...  I hope they are click able and you can see them better.  This is Before and After of the garage..  And the weather was fantastic..in the low 80's with a nice breeze and we were in the shade all day...

Next weekend we will start on the trim... let's keep our fingers crossed for nice weather then too..
