Finally back in the shop and it was a busy day I painted a jewelry box red 2 coats and waxed 2 coats and staged for sale.
I put 2 coats of wax on the dresser, moved it inside and the drawers to dry better and get ready for staging
I scraped, wood filled and painted a large frame fire works red two coats then dark waxed it, for the glass I used actual black chalkboard paint, note to self be sure to dry 3 hours before applying 2nd coat
Sheldon headed to town around 4 with a load of bales for a neighbor, stop at the dump, a few errands then hanging out with Craig. Britt was off to town soon after to start her new job shift at 5:30, she learns for 3 hours at a time for first few shifts.
Amanda came out just after 5 and she and I were off to The Mustard Seed to volunteer serving supper this evening. It was a really good night, well organized and amazing to see 360 people fed in under half an hour. I was the main course plate filler which was shepherds pie passing to Amanda who was gravy loader. The plates went to bun and utensil guy and then dessert guy before setting on the ledge. Almost all said thanks, many thanked us for serving them and the crowd was very diversified. There were many clean cut business looking guys and one very dolled up but nice looking elderly lady all who are down on their luck right now. Our bun/utensil guy who never uttered a word shocked us when we closed our window and the boss said if you are hungry you can eat, we of course declined but he proceeded to scoop himself two helpings and then topped up on dessert!! lol The clean up was efficient and we were home by 9 pm! For sure we will do this again and hope to drag a few more along with us.
Shaina was home from her day of shopping as was Britt from work and they played Wii until 11 with Rylan who was over as well. Sheldon was home not long after and we both hit the sheets tuckered from a day of actually doing things and not laying in the sun!
