Curt had the Friday before Memorial Day off, so to celebrate, he took a half day of vacation on Thursday! We have been wanting to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway from Lynchburg to Evergreen (the Sheek family's new mountain house) ever since we moved here so we were excited to finally have the opportunity. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the relaxing drive through the green hills covered in blooming mountain laurel. Curt had never been to Mabry Mill so we made a quick stop:
Friday, we set to work bright and early. Susan Ada finished painting our new bathroom and Curt installed light fixtures:
Saturday Steve, Curt, and Susan Ada attacked the task of laying hardwood floors in the bonus room. We all worked very hard and had 450 square feet of pretty floors to show for it at the end of the day.
However, Saturday wasn't all gruelling labor. . .Curt took some time out to fry a turkey breast. He had wanted to try for a long time so when he discovered that Steve had a turkey fryer in his basement, Curt just had to break it in. Safety first. . .no hot oil ruining this handsome face:
It might have been delicious!
Sunday we drove to Shatley Springs for some yummy country cooking then all pitched in to mow and rake the yard and part of the orchard. We had a great time and enjoyed working hard on the new house.
