The painting is done! At least my part. And here's the wisdom this "freshman painter" (that's what my daughter in law calls me!) has learned. It's not as hard as it appears; not everyone paints the same; people with short arms and bellies that stick out should use a roller with a long handle; you should lock a door that you're standing behind painting; painting over a cobweb - not so good; it all looks totally differently when it dries; painting is a fun chore when done with others - there's laughing, story telling, and bonding of people together. There's quite a feeling of accomplishment to look around a room and see the total transformation. The next step for us is new flooring..that will be done by professionals, which doesn't include me. Then I'll have re-arranging, sewing of new curtains, etc. to do - that will be fun, also. Now on to a fun birthday party for a friend of our family tonight. Life never slows down, eh?
