Well, Katie painted today and only Pa got to enjoy her company as I had to run around taking Kris places and doing the job thing. They did some more woodwork done but Katie I'll have to make pa take off the quarter round. It was great that she came out because I'd have had to give her Christmas present some other time. Maybe mailed it after she got lost on her way to Nashville.
It is hard to believe school is already starting. It is hard to believe that we have more work on the house. We are going away with Norm & Cricket on friday. So we are taking a day off. We are going to Cabella's in West Virginia and probably stopping by the casino. I think it is a one day trip but we maybe staying overnight(not sure)
It is 1:00 AM and I'm just getting my work done. Well back to the grind.

I lost a post into cyber space!
So I will try again. Saturday Lauren came at 8:30 and was ready to go to work. I had six windows ready to paint and only two more to prep and she had to wait for me to get my work done. Can that girl paint.
Now I need my girls back to do the baseboard work in the dining room and living room. I sure
hope they stop by tuesday! Well today we shot at the Albion Corn Shoot and I didn't do much. Pa on the other hand took home the Vet trophy. It is on the mantel and it looks real sharp. Wish that there were a matching pair on the mantel but there is only one.
I'm taking gramma Brown to the Doctor to get some things removed from her arms. I'll be leaving in the morning but I can be reached by car phone.

I NEED WORKERS!
Well, today we painted some more. Pa is working in the basement hallway and I'm prepping windows. Only two left to prep. I need window painters! Remember they are WHITE! Katie you didn't get the quarter rounds off the dining room. You really need to come back and get that off of the walls (you know that is your job.
Shot tonight in a wind storm and then after we shot the rain came. Pa did great with a 47 and I
did bad with a 39. Our club won so we only have one more team to beat before the shoot off.
I wonder when lolo is coming out! Haven't heard yet. Hope she brings Katie with her.
Good job buying books Elyse (Gramma Brown would have been proud of you.)

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!

Good news - Bad news
Oh What a day today! We were up and away at 9:30 our painters were sleeping except of
one who manage to talk on the phone and scare her Pa.
We arrived at Bay City around eleven and decided to shoot after twelve. Pa shot his 49 and I shot a 46. His was good enough for shoot off for Hi Union Gun and the shoot off for AA class and he also had a shoot of for Veterans Class. Well he shot well for Hi Union and came in second as he finally dropped a bird. Then he shot of for high AA class against the best shooters in the league and he was the WINNER! I took Hi Lady.
This was accomplished while talking to Katie and Lauren about our house getting broke into. I was going to come home but they managed to deal with the police and so again they had a day of no painting. Harland called the guy who put the door in and he came a boarded it up. We stopped by and I got very sad and I just loved the nice backdoor I had. It even worked by just turning the key. They used a sledge hammer on the door and couldn't get in so then the sledged
the door knob and dead bolt. So Sad. We only lost a saw and table Pa had in the basement everything else seem in tack. Three times and out!
