No table picture yet

Well I was hoping I would be able to share a before and after picture of my table that I’ve been working on. I was close. On the drop down leaf’s we used a roller to apply the primer verses a brush. So when Larry sprayed the paint on it you could see brush strokes. Ugh!!!! Nope can’t leave it that way. So we pulled the sanders back out and sanded all the leaves and top of the table down. Now the problem is we don’t have enough paint to finish it. Which calls for another trip down to Jonesville (about 1.5 hrs south) to this little store that is the closest one near us that sells this paint. It’s called Old Century Paint and the color is called Firethorn. That’s all I’m going to say about the color other than it’s a new one just released from this company. You’ll have to wait for the picture. Now what I haven’t mentioned is there are lots and lots of antique shops in the area so we’ll have to stop in a couple of those. Oh and there is a neat place to eat down there called Old Post that I’ve been told has good food.

Well I had one of those B-Days that we all have once a year and either freak out about or could care less. I’m one of those “could care less” types; it’s just another day to me. But my grand-daughter Anissa needed a ride to work on Friday and look what I got. Did I tell you I have an awesome grand-daughter.

My old boss asked me to come in one day this week and play employee again while his real one takes a day off. So I was back at my old desk that I sat at for almost 15 years. Since I couldn’t do much other then take a message I took my own computer in along with the Activities Schedule for Retama and started reviewing what the committee had scheduled and what was on the actual Calendar Website to make sure we have all the activities listed for this winter. Nice quiet time to do this and get paid too: can’t beat that.

Today was the annual Island Art Fair in our little town. So some friends, my sister and two sisters in laws along with my great niece and great-great niece all came to my house and we walked into town.

Here’s a pictured of our little group

Here’s a picture of the crowd waiting to get on the Island

That’s about it for this week. Next weekend we’re going up to Bob & Diane’s place at Houghton Lake and go on a Poker Run using boats. Should be interesting. Little Pepper is going to go spend the weekend with Darrius. Now that will really be interesting for Brandi and Darrell. Putting those two together is like having a mini tornado around.

Till next time…………………………………………….
