House Painting!

 
 It is always awesome seeing the church work together side by side ( & fun fellowship) to tackle a need. This weekend was the third weekend in a row helping friends with the HUGE project of painting their house and we got it done! It was a beautiful day of sunshine, perfect for a good sunburn, with a sweet summer breeze. Baby kicked on his blanket in the shade, kids played in the pool, and meanwhile painters on porches, painters on rooftops, painters in window sills,  painters stretching to dangerous positions on teetering ladders to reach scroll peaks...  all worked steaditly. By the end paint was everywhere from the sidewalk to the baby's arm. It was a good day.
 
We are done!
 
 Jo Jo... so proud of her hard work painting all the porch trim and scroll work!
 



 This is where we started...SO scary up on that second roof!
 I lost some of my fear by the end of the day.

  2. So you have a new spot here! Just found you. This made me think of a time long ago, and another paint job with you all - remember the strawberry yogurt bedroom? - Em T.
