We had the second meeting of the Amish Envy club this past Saturday- at our house. It was beyond wonderful. Eight adults and nine children came together to play, and to paint a good 1/2 of our interior. In one day. It would have taken Jon and I eons to get the same amount of work done and the whole time the kids would have been whining about wanting to do this or that and we would have had to stop with our hands full of paint to get them a snack or wipe a bottom... But with this plan, we moved out the furniture Friday night and had the rooms completely livable again by Sunday. And the kids had a blast. So did I to tell the truth. Once again, the Amish club forced me to go use my inhaler to recover from a laughing fit. My favorite time, however, was when the work was done and we all gathered around the table to share a leisurely meal. I look forward to the next meeting- to tackle landscaping at the Neskemoen's. It's a good thing to be looking forward to helping out your neighbors.
Pictures of the new non-yellow house will be posted soon. We have now, five years after moving into this house, covered the last of the five shades of yellow that used to grace these walls.
