flex friday

Another flex Friday and not quite as they planned, warm at 15 but no sunshine. We had thought today we might test drive some cars later in the afternoon however after a bit of thought I decided to keep the Buick and even cancelled my XM radio as it hardly leaves the garage to even listen too.

Sheldon took a load of rails out later in the am and finally Britt got up and out there by 11:30 to help put up. They finished  bottom row in 2 hours! I worked in the garage on a metal bottle holder while scrubbing up 2 more jewel boxes, a mini mug tree (for bracelets) and a night stand I just got.

this one got delayed due to repairs

Afternoon was spent with Britt and Sheldon hanging a few more pieces of plywood in the barn while I painted one jewel box coral. The sun was out by now so I did more dog crap pickup too. Sheldon rushed to the aid of some Oyen ladies out of gas on the highway and grabbed wood while he was in town. Amanda and the kids stopped out for a visit while he was gone. They had gone to the zoo today in the lovely weather. It reached a high of 20! and 22 in the city, but tomorrow they say back down and the digital forecaster says rain, WTH!

Sheldon finally arrived back, bearing teas and an ice coffee and we got supper under way but it took almost an hour to barbecue, so again a late supper. Sheldon and Britt hurried down their meal and were off to town for a Bison hockey game so I went out to paint ;) I tried Annie Sloan paint for the first time. Again a different consistency and learning curve.

This frame got scrubbed and I painted the inside portion antique white
