Labor Day

After consulting with Meg Givens -- Gayle's friend from church, fellow Bible study-er, and our eye on decorating -- we did a little more painting in the great room and rearranged the furniture. The idea was to draw the eyes toward the kitchen with the color up high on the wall of the great room, so we added the mineral red to the wall above the front door and the end of the kitchen bulkhead. We think it works! And it only took me a couple of hours.

Gayle is working on a tee shirt quilt for a TCS eighth grader. His mom works in the school office and saw the tee shirt quilt Gayle made for the TCS office manager's daughter. Gayle does a really neat thing with the proceeds from these quilts. The moms give her the tee shirts that are special memories for their kids, pay for the fabric, and then make a donation to Food for Children. The quilts have a flannel back and will probably be used as cuddle quilts.

We're running some errands this afternoon, and there are some bushes that need to be trimmed again. I may even fire up the new power washer; parts of the sidewalk are getting green. The bike needs to be washed and I have a set of papers to grade. We're barbequing some ribs for supper. Hope the afternoon rains cooperate!
