5/24/08

1. Coffee out with friends who also have 13 YO daughters; the girls shopped for a birthday gift for a fourth friend while we three moms chatted. It's so nice to have great friends who have great daughters for C. to be friends with!

2. G. finished painting (except for touch-ups) the house; when we had the addition put on, the siding for the addition came in stock colors, so we had to re-paint the rest of the house to match the stock colored vinyl siding on the addition. We painted in a hurry last year, and a LOT of it bubbled or peeled over the winter. G. did all the fixing this spring--scraping, priming and now painting. But on the bright side, the new color looks WAY better with the Lannon Stone of the rest of the house!

3. G. invited friends to an impromptu cookout; I had just been complaining about not having friends over, so I was happy that he did. This also *forced* me to clean the whole house at once--an it needed it!

4. The cookout itself--I continually feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and neighbors. (and good sports--despite being forced to play American Idol with me...)
