A Busy Weekend!

(PHOTO: Dolly inspects the great paint job Tom did on the stairs).
This weekend was packed! It's finally Sunday evening and we're now sitting back.
Saturday, Tom painted the staircase and cleaned it up nicely with an oil-based paint. It took more than a day to dry, but it looks fantastic. At the same time, Rob drove to Baltimore and visited his 86 year old friend Beverlee in a nursing home for awhile. In the afternoon, we went to a 'farewell afternoon tea' for our friend Randall, who is moving back to Wyoming after working in DC during a government appointment. Our friend Linda and her daughter hosted the great event, filled with teas, sandwiches, desserts and coffee. It was lots of fun! We also worked in a dinner with our friend Tom, too. Sunday was a busy day, too. It was 15F outside, so we stayed in for breakfast and skipped our weekend breakfast at Panera Bread, which made our dogs Dolly and Franklin happy! Lunches with friends are a great way to spend a weekend afternoon, and this was one of them. We got to lunch with Jeff and Gary, and Chris and Mike (whom we haven't seen in a long time). Dinner with Tom's folks made for a great end to the weekend - and tomorrow it's back to work...
