It started out as a simple project - paint the front of the house. After close examination, the cedar siding had enough rot/cracking problems that we had to have the house resided on the front. Off with the old on with the new - a cement/fiber siding. They tell us it will last forever....
This week Chad Swing spent the week off and on painting for us. Linda threw in a couple hours of painting one day, and Harry and Dewey worked with Chad all day yesterday to finish the project. We are no longer the little brown house on the prairie. When you see us now the whole house matches.
Grandma Hazel took a ride to Rochester on Friday with Bonnie Swing. She and her nurse friends (Lillian, Beth, and Della) met at Karen's Restaurant for lunch. Karen's has let their indoor/outdoor carpet on their entry ramp fall into disrepair and Grandma caught either her walker or foot on the carpet and took a tumble. Nothing broken, but she admits she really got banged up and has been resting and trying to recover from the fall.
