Summer

Well, Holli told me that my last post was about spring so now I guess it's time to do "summer." My summer was very short! My last day of work was on my birthday, June 9. Dad spent time working on the range. I spent my time doing yardwork and housework and we worked together on our big project that's not finished yet. We painted the crown molding and all of the wood trim in the living room and dining room and painted all of the other walls blue (of course). I wanted to leave the same wallpaper in the dining room, but Dad thought it looked too bad. Then I wanted to paint it a different color of blue, but Dad wanted wallpaper.

After two trips to Home Depot in Show Low, I finally got some ordered. We had things pretty torn up in the dining room because we had to take everything out of the china cupboard and move it away from the wall. I wanted to get things back before we left for our mission as all of the family would be at our house for Pioneer Days.

Finally, the wallpaper came and I hurriedly put up enough so we could put the dishes back. We also ordered blinds and draperies for the living room and dining room and all of that came in before we left, but Dad didn't have time to anything with any of it before we left.

It's now September 16, and the wallpapering still isn't finished. I decided I would hang at least two strips a day until it was done. I hung 2 last night and 2 tonight. I think that leaves around 10 - 12 stips to go, but some is around the door into the living room and those shouldn't take long.
