After another weekend in Salem we now have two rooms completely free of wallpaper. The golf wall paper (so classy it deserved not just one, but two rooms) no longer adorns our walls. We also got a huge prtion of the kitchen done, thanks mostly to Mac's mom who was a tireless worker. The wallpaper in the kitchen is sort of a thin spongy plastic rather than actual paper. In many areas we could strip huge sheets off without even getting the stuff wet, but in the rest of the areas the paper shredded into small bits that were adamently stuck to the wall; adding water only made it worse. It was this room that made me realize that if God were really omnipotent, He would have made wallpapering the eighth deadly sin.
Deck repair begins this week. Very soon we will no longer have the set-up for a great America's Funniest Video clip.
We saw deer every night. I guess they heard I was a gardener and are just waiting for me to open up the new salad bar.
Kris and J.D. came by for a tour on Saturday. J.D., ever drawn to boxes, discovered a left behind box in the basement closet. Lucky us, it turned out to be rolls and rolls of all the wallpaper we are so anxious to get rid of! Seriously, there is enough there to re-paper the entire house!
We did a slightly better job of hosting dinner this time, although I had to keep collecting and washing the plastic forks because we didn't have enough for dinner and dessert.
Despite all our hard work, the only thing that HAD to get done (get my medical license out of the file cabinet) was forgetten. I may be making an extra trip to Salem this week!
