Monday (25) Today we put on our painting clothes. We started the morning with sandind the paneling and taping around stuff before we painted them with primer. Up next was to paint on the primer. We painted primer on the hutch and on the paneling. This took us a while. Then we picked up our lunch at Braums'. My doctor's office called and wanted me to return for another lab draw in two weeks. OK, my white count was high (a teeny bit) and they wanted to re-check it. Steve made another run at the RV TV. That thing is just giving us all kinds of trouble since the original equipment (VCR) died.

Tuesday (26) After we dressed up in our painting clothes we painted the paneling and more coats of white paint on the Hutch. Paint, Paint, Paint! Tonight we got cleaned up and went to La Macarena to celebrate Maxine's 90th birthday. She is the mother of my stepdaughters, Linda & Hazel. Also know as my wife-in-law. The ex wife of my first husband. We have been friends for quite awhile. At first it was a little weird, but then it got pretty easy. My first husband died in 1999, but she and I were friendly even before he died.

Wednesday (27) It's rainy outside today. Today we had to go to Stillwater for more paint and brushes and rollers. Then it was on to Walmart for supplies. We had a late lunch after arriving back home. We painted another coat on (3rd) on the hutch and doors. By the way, Steve had to remove the glass from the doors so we could paint them. Re-painting a hutch isn't too easy.
Thursday (28) Again, we are back at it. Today we are painting the inside of the hutch. We are also painting the wall. Steve did most of the wall painting. I did like painting the paneling. That part was easy. In addition, Steve had to move the refrigerator out of it's cubbyhole to paint it. Fun, Fun, Fun! I am so glad that I don't have to flip houses or be a painter for a living!

Friday (29) We forgot a little spot around the kitchen window, so Steve had to tape and paint that. We are also putting more coats of paint on the doors and the inside of the hutch. The cabinets we purchased had a little bit of gray accent color in the door grooves. We thought we could paint the grooves in the doors of the hutch to match. So I tried that today. Well it didn't look good. So I re-painted them back to white. We will let Steve try after they are dry. We bought new black hardware for the handles, but we didn't have new black hinges. So Steve spray painted the hinges black. They look great!

Saturday (30) More painting in the grooves of the doors. Steve tried doing the gray in the grooves and didn't like it either - so they will be white. We also watched football today. OU Beat Texas tech and OSU beat Kansas. There was also some laundry completed somewhere.
Sunday (31) Today we took it easy and mainly watched football. We also did all the routine things and walked the dogs!
