Our Katie!

Well this weekend started pretty normal. I had volunteered to take my Indian friends to
Grove City since I didn't have to go to Youngstown. It was a long day and I'm tired after
a 9 to 6 trip. On the other hand my workers - Pa - Katie - & Lauren worked a whole 2 hours. I guess they were just too tired.
Day 2 (Saturday-The slave driver gets them up and 9 and after getting supplies at the store we were ready to get started. Lauren said, "I want to finish the windows in the basement, & I thought this was a great idea. Pa had stayed at McDonald's to talk to a friend. Katie was in the kitchen getting ready to paint and I had went back to the car to get something. It is Texas hot today & as I came back into the kitchen Kate is standing in a pool of paint (the paint was up to her knees sort of like a criss cross desige) the can in her handand saying Lauren and Pa did not put the lid on. The long water hose was also entangled in this scene. I said Katie, I'll get the water hose out of your way so I gathered it up and took it outside to clean up. Of course Lauren
had joined this mess & so when I came back in I told her she was probably better off back in the basement and she agreed and quickly disappeared. In the mean time Katie called Pa and asked him out to clean up paint on the floor & he told her to mop it up but the next thing she said was, No Pa I Mean a Lot Of Paint! He advised her to get a big paint brush and a dust pan and sweep it into it and throw it a way. Yes the day didn't start to well but my kitchen floor is getting cleaner all the time.
A friend from Albion stopped by to look at the house and was advised to wait for the cleanup to get along a little more. My hose is cleaner & whiter and that is a good thing. Our day got started
and we really do not know for sure who left the paint can lid loose. I'm sure Katie knows who did it. Now our Katie does not swear and she never has a temper I think we all would agree to this but (I think she does have a temper and I think her swear word might be (Lauren Lauren Lauren) With a Pa thrown in there as well.

Well the sad part of the day is that our girls are gone. They took their money and left. They thanked us for the job & I know they worked hard and learned some new skills the help to us was beyond great. We will never forget this summer! It was wonderful !!!!! I just keep hoping they will come back and paint the windows. hint

Now it is Sunday - Team shoot in Saegertown. I put $5.00 on Pa for high gun. I did not tell him because I didn't want to put pressure on him. I should have! He shot a 46 - which included a handicap shoot. So he shot well and tied for second on the high gun and won $3.75. I think I lost but it was fun. I only shot a 41, I struggled all day. It was too hot and rough way to go. We had a great dinner but no air conditioning.

Well, Monday is coming. Love You Katie!! You make my days!
