The fam's in town

Click over here to see pictures of my brother and his family. They're here for a couple of weeks to see how we Western Slopers hang.

The cool thing about the weekend was that they pulled into our driveway just as we were finished cleaning up after doing this:

We painted the rest of our house Saturday ... OK, actually Bill's friend and co-worker, Dennis, used his fancy-schmancy painting machine to paint the house and we did what we could to help.

Mostly, I stood there and clapped like one of those cymbal monkeys.

Yeah, it's been a long time coming. We started this project in April ...

of 2004.

Yeah, three years ago we started the project of painting the house. And you know what? It's was really not any fun. So two years ago we finished painting the front and put in a new screen door and called it good like the true white trashies that we are.

But now we have a house that is all one color.

OK, OK, we still have to do the trim, but this is a great step forward. Fer reals, yo.
