Sunday, Day 24

We got into the "fun" part today: applying the color to the walls. The blue looks really bright in this picture ... and IT IS. It will be like living in an aquarium! I'm thinking sand-colored carpeting ... Please pass the fruity drink with the umbrella, Tom!

It was a beautiful day outside, and we could leave the windows open. That was a good thing because the primer still smelled baaaaaaad.

We went out for a Mother's Day lunch at "The Old Lompoc," a local tavern, with Ted. The sun was hot, the beer was cold. Tom and I were ... shall I say ... "disinclined" ... to work further. But Tom rolled on (get it, "rolled") and I went to the bookstore. Unfortunately, there was still some left to do when I got home, so the handywork where the ceiling meets the wall is mine. Should you see me in the near future, don't ask me about this subject unless you want to hear a long monologue about it!

Tomorrow the second coat, the trim, and finding someplace to sell us some sand-colored carpet.
