Painting Mom's House

On the 4th of July weekend, 9 of us painted Mom's house: Mom, Bill and I, Anne and Matt, Terry and Diane, Chris and Bev


The paint sprayer was clogged, so Bill had to spend some time working on it...




Matt had the tedious job of masking windows before he helped paint and hold ladders!













Mom, Terry and Diane are painting the front of the shop. Chris is watching them.
I am brushing the trim which I will later paint.

Bill got the sprayer to work!














We are taking a lunch breatk! Diane...





Terry is making sandwiches...

Chris













Bev brought a wonderful spread for lunch, including this delicious smoked salmon that Chris made!





Chris hasn't changed over the years!










We're finally finished! We could hardly believe what we had accomplished in one day!












For dinner, Terry and Diane provided a wonderful BBQ!



Eating and relaxing...








Anne and Matt brought instruments to make a fun evening out of it...
Terry and Diane, singing along (still in paint clothes :-)

Bev and Chris








Before heading back for
Salem, I made a trip over to Chris and Bev's to see their new kitchen. It is very beautiful!
