11 Years is Long Enough…

March 13, 2015 Posted by Keith Wight 3 Comments

It’s Friday again. It’s the last day of school for the week for the kids. Unfortunately for them tomorrow will be a study day as mid-term exams are coming up very quickly. (I’m sure there will still be time for one game of hockey – won’t there?)

Every morning the kids arrive at the big house all decked out in their clean school uniforms, rested and ready for a new day. They are greeted by Mama Karen and 2 or 3 of the children will pray and then it is off to school. What a wonderful start to the day.

It’s painting day again for Joan and I. After much discussion it was decided that 11 years is enough. It’s time to paint Karen’s bedroom and bathroom. Yesterday we moved everything out of the bedroom, except the bed and started the prep work. Joan and Karen decided on Jaunty Joan as the new color. What do you think?

Oops. Sorry Sandra. You’ll have the wait till the job is finished to see what Jaunty Joan looks like.

The bathroom is a boring Keith Wight.

Yup, Joan’s new Birthday Ladder got used but not by me!

Stay tuned.

    I love the names: Lovely Lisa, Jaunty Joan and Keif Wight! I know what color Keif Wight is BUT can't imagine what the others are! Keith your ladder looks almost as bad as the old ladder BUT you don't have far to fall. Don't bash your head like Ti Luc did!
    Hope everyone gets at least one good game of hockey in amid the studies.
    Thanks to you two for all you are doing!
