Projects

I have been working on a few projects since the weather has cooled off. I worked on painting and resealing the widows for a couple days and then moved on the the eaves. The paint on the eaves of the house has been pretty rough for several years and every year I have been putting it off. This year I finally got to it. I worked on them off and on for about 2 weeks. I finally finished them up and then moved on to do some work on the front porch. The ceiling on the porch needed scraped and painted. I finished it up last Thursday and today I painted the floor of the front porch and removed the bushes that has gotten way too big and looking sparse in foliage. The front porch is going to need another coat and then I will be moving on to the back patio. I hope to keep this going until the weather keeps me from doing things outside. I might have to start a few projects inside.

This weekend Needles and I were hosted by Cynical and Ragged. We arrived in Owenboro on Friday around 5:30pm. When we arrived we visited with each other for a bit before it was time for Cynical and I to go pick up some local take out pizza. The pizza was very good and we sat in the livingroom and discussed  and caught up on what was going on in our lives. Before long it was time for bed. The next morning we had a very noce breakfast and then we were off to the festival. We arrived a little early which was nice to be able to wander through the art booths without bumping elbows with other patrons. There were some very talented people with booths and unfortunatley the storm the night before made the setup disasterous for some. Ragged did a little shopping and Needles found herself a hand dyed goody bag. After that we were able walk the Blue Bridge. They had shut down traffic across the bridge from 10am to 3pm. When we made it back we walked up the new riverfront and got to see all the improvements to the area. After the festival we went over to visit with some family and see a new member of the family. After that we returned home for a lunch of grilled burgers with sides. It was all very good and we filled our bellies. We returned to the riverfront area to pick up some coffee at a local coffee bar and walk the riverfront at sunset. It was a nice way to end the day. Sunday morning we had breakfast and settled in on the screen porch and enjoyed the cooler temps. We spent the last few hours together talking, eatting and then having to say goodbye. We always enjoy visiting with Cynical and Ragged and can't wait for the time that they will make the trek to our neck of the woods.
