(July)
My brother, his family and some of our friends surprised us this past
Sunday. They showed up early in the morning with paint brushes, buckets,
and motivation. The interior of the old farmhouse is mostly wide Poplar
planks and we are planning to smooth the walls with a couple coats
of polyurethane. If Sharon and I would have tackled this project by
ourselves it would have probably taken us a week to just get the first
coat on everything. What a difference it makes when you have extra
hands to help.
We each picked a spot and started. We laughed, talked, sang with the
radio and had such a wonderful time being together. And what an accomplishment.
By the afternoon we had the entire first coat on. We topped the day
by following them back over to my brother's house and splashed around
in their new pool, played volleyball and had a BBQ. We hated for the
day to end. I am so grateful for good family, kind friends, and the
memories we make together.
