Naturally, because we started painted the house, the weatherman is predicting thunderstorms for the next seven days. You're all very welcome and we're so happy we could help.

I worked on the phones 6 hrs yesterday and then headed out to help Ed. The absolute worst part of the house - not a speck of paint, just bare boards - was the balcony outside my office. By evening we had the balcony painted and nearly all of the first floor which only leaves the second story. Ed thinks he can get it done in a week of evenings but with thunderstorms coming, obviously that won't be this week. Oh well, when the weather allows it, we'll git r done.

Fizzle's owner came to ride both days over the weekend and commented that she's let her riding sessions slack enough that Fizzle is acting up and no longer agreeing to commands. She asked if I'd ride her a couple times each week to keep her in good riding form and I agreed -- it'll be nice to ride again and I think I'll enjoy it.

I'm fresh out of interesting stories and exhausted from the weekend so it's just work, chores, and rest for me today. Oh, and laundry. Good gravy this family creates some serious dirty laundry on the weekends.
