Worn-out

Had a really fun weekend. Friday morning we rode the horses for the first time in at least a month (it's been too hot til now). That evening, we joined Christye and Kevin at Jeremy and Michelle's for supper. Nice to spend some time with busy friends.

Sabbath we went to The Place. Had a two-hour, late-afternoon nap, then went to a farewell party at BJ's. I'd invited Christye and Kevin, and it turns out Kevin knew half the people there from PUC. Small world, especially with such a sanguine guy. We knew we needed to get up early today because we were scheduled to paint the barn at Ventura Farms at 8 a.m. Had lots of Diet Pepsi with supper, so we had a hard time falling asleep. I finally drifted off just after midnight, but Ken was still up playing his guitar until close to 3 a.m. Obviously, he wasn't thrilled when the alarm went off at 6:20.

So the barn painting went really well. I was so pleased that 26 people volunteered (and most showed up!). They worked really hard in the hot sun. We lost a few each hour as the morning progressed, and the final four of us wrapped up the project about 2:30 this afternoon. I'll post photos as soon as I get them.
