Like most of you we had plans that depended on the weather. For most of the weekend the weather didn't go in our favor. We or should I say Corey has been busy all week painting our front door. It was installed last fall and we finally had time in our busy summer schedule to paint it. Corey has been such a good sport about painting the door. We both strongly dislike painting since we have painted every room in our house including the doors and trim work and we painted the outside last year. I of course always wanted a red door just like a red kitchen. I am so thankful I have a husband who has done both for me. We didn't like the original color we picked out but the second color is much better. We hope to have the outside part of the door done this week. Melvin is very hopeful we finish sooner. He has to be locked up since the front door is off the hinges for painting. Everyone knows Melvin despises being caged. Pictures to come of our door.
Our other plans for the weekend were more domesticated. Saturday night we cooked 16 ears of corn from Corey's parents garden and skinned them (not sure that is the right term). We now have 8 Tupperware containers of wonderful sweet corn to enjoy all winter. The other food project was to dehydrate about 3lbs of pears also from Marti and Jim. It is a long process but I had fun pealing the pears and singing "I have been working on the railroads," repetitively to Corey. Our first batch was a little done but I think we figured out what went wrong.
As for the official Labor day we are spending it at our friends Alan and Rheas house for dinner. Hope everyone else had a good long weekend too.
P.S. took Melvin to the vet this week alone (huge task getting him in the carrier). He is now on a reduced calorie diet since he was 16# and the vet mentioned he looked healthier at 14#. Melvin has strongly told us he disagrees with this often times at 5:30 in the morning.
