Paint

It's amazing what a coat of paint will do to a hallway, a ceiling and a bedroom. We are finally done painting. I am pooped (again that phrase, I spoke to it earlier, for my insight, please refer to a previous blog) but satisfied. I painted the walls in the bedroom as my friend cut in the corners. We went fast. I also did all the baseboard and casing. It almost looks like I knew what I was doing. Amazing, I know. I just finished the window surround and not so good. A tougher paint and I didn't excel but I know the wooden blinds will cover it up so there is some redemption there. As my friend and I were talking, we discussed another common friend from our days up at Rick's College (yes, it will ALWAYS be Rick's College to me) and the Star Palace Disco where we would spend our week-ends. Fun, fun, fun. My youngest saw me skinny and with hair and she couldn't believe it was I. Funny, funny, funny (I almost wish I could have a coat of paint, if you know what I mean...) but I am much happier now at this stage of my life, eventhough physical work days are harder on my than they once were. My knees are feeling the effects of too many years of basketball but I am still able to school my youngest son there so beware boy! Also, on another note to my oldest daughter. I would imagine you sing all day with your kids and I would also imagine you would be in your ward choir, you have a lovely voice, but my musings were regarding taking singing in HIGH SCHOOL and being a part of the choir there and not a general malaise on the lack of singing per se in the family. I do know you but my thoughts were regarding an organized, scholastic singing. Anyway, I am done painting for a day or so. We might have some final touch-up after casings and baseboards are hung but, over all, I am satisfied with my day of painting...
