It takes good music to work all weekend, so we gathered our CDs and lined them up in front of the stereo downstairs on Friday. Then we painted the first floor. First the ceiling, then the ceiling again, then taping, taping, taping, up a borrowed ladder to paint in the foyer, and on to put Ostrich Fern (a first coat, at least) on the walls.
We took a break in the action on Saturday to head to J Birney Crumm Stadium in Allentown to watch Allen versus Deiruff in high school football. This is Allentown's big cross-town rivalry (the two public high schools in the city) and apparently people really get in to it. Jenelle had a bit of a wild week leading up to the game, but the atmosphere of a high school game at noon on Saturday was a little subdued; it got even more subdued on our side while Allen fell further and further behind. In the later afternoon we did some errands and looked at ceiling fans and lights, which actually made us miss Northern Lights in Rapid River. What? Didn't see that one coming.
Then back to work. We're down to the last coat and I'm hopeful we'll finish tomorrow.
