Studied Portuguese early this morning–like 3am!

Printed labels for the newsletter!
Calculated my mileage. (Although I hardly ever cash a mileage check because our ministry has been so tight financially. I have over $2,000 worth of uncashed checks.)

Released a new podcast! Check out Verbal Surgery -485- “Mind Song!”

This one sounds GREAT! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Doing research on accordian doors for the mission. Trying to get some privacy for the rest of the apartment from working with the kids.

Went to Lowes for more paint. Trim and kitchen/bathroom. Called “Northstar.”

Continue to make progress. No fast way to do it!

I like the color scheme Ashley picked out. Very modern.


We still plan on swapping out some faucets and light fixtures. Little changes make big changes.

Repainted the ceiling in the bathroom. The nails were rusting. Primed and finished the coat today. This is before the walls were repainted.

Ashley is covering over the hideous green tile with contact paper. What can’t she do?

I am always astonished by how good tempered Penelope is. To be around all that painting and be so patient is incredible. She gets a little anxious sometimes. But honestly, so did I!

We took a break from painting to do the labels and stamps for the newsletters. Penelope likes the stickers!


154 letters in the mail this month! Please give generously!

Finished up the painting, cleaned brushes and came home.

Productive day!
