crazy weekend

This weekend was a whirlwind! Friday night we drove to Susan Ada's family mountain place. That was the first time we had done the drive from Lynchburg - 3 1/2 hours and it was quite pretty. Here is a current pic. . .the stone is well under way!


Saturday we spent the day painting cedar shakes (the green part above) for the new house. One person sprayed, two people painted with brushes, and one person carried and mixed paint. It was quite a job, but definitely needed to be done. Curt forgot his crappy shoes, so here he is all geared up:

And the boys working hard. This is Steve's "house-workin' uniform." He has an endless supply of these beauties. I'm assuming nobody fought him for them at work.


We were pooped afterwards. Note the 11 empty paint cans. . .

Still smiling (and very green)!


While the boys cleaned up, Susan Ada and her mom went over to a friend's house that had grown them some pumpkins. Yay for lots of free home grown punkins!!! That evening we drove down to Charlotte and stayed with Jon in his new house. . .so that Sunday we could go to the Panthers game!! Gotta love those Panthers even if it was rainy and they played terribly. . .I might have made a new tacky teal sparkle scarf for the gloomy day:


We finished it off with some Bojangles and headed back to start our week. A very good first weekend of fall.
