KC and I left Saturday morning for Des Moines. The goal was to paint her mom’s condo getting it ready to sell. Wow. Two coats on the living room, dining room, and hallway; oh, yeah - two coats on the kitchen as well AFTER we removed two layers of wallpaper. UGH! It was a whirlwind of activity. We had ZDog and Eric (KC’s brother) removing wallpaper, Brenda (Eric’s wife) painting trim and I was painting ceiling. KC was painting walls until ZDog left, then she was helping Eric with the steamer to remove wallpaper. And after all that.. it looks GREAT!
This morning KC and I put on a light second coat and then went to lunch with ZDog and J and Helen (KC’s mom) and Eric. KC and I then took Helen home and began the trek home. I say trek because there was snow coming down the entire way home. And it was a wet, sticky snow. It packed on the road and caused problems for many. We didn’t have any problems other than the amount of time it took to get home. We were planning on going to a friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl, but we didn’t get home until about half time. That’s right…. we left Des Moines at 1:22 and pulled in to our home shortly after 6:30. Of course the 1:40 where we basically sat in one place on I-80 while the emergency vehicles tended to a 5 car wreck didn’t help. We stopped counting after we saw 15 cars in the ditch. In face, one car (a nice looking Subaru) skidded out of control ahead of us a few hundred yards and spun around, skipped the median, slid across the westbound lane and came to a stop on the north ditch of the westbound lane. That made ME slow down!! The good news is that we got home safely. The bad news is we didn’t go to a Super Bowl party. It just wasn’t going to work out. But anyway…
YEAH, BOY!!! GO GIANTS!!! Way to beat the Patriots!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!
