Family Day

  Well Happy family Day Everyone! It's a statutory holiday here in SK. Day off for a lot of people, time and a half wages for the rest. Most stores and restaurants are open for business, government offices are closed. There is a paid holiday in each month now. 'Lizabeth was saying they had 9 days off school now (for the 1 day the rest of us get.) Good thing Terri is a stay at home Mom.
  I am doing the laundry thing right now. Well, I should say the machine is washing my clothes, not like I'm rubbing them on a rock in the creek or anything!! But still takes time, and must be done at least once a week. Husband is heading to the grocery store to pick up a few things.
  Then later, Husband and I are going to the MIL's for a visit with her and SIL & BIL from the Queen City who are in town for the day. That's Family Day.
  I painted a bit last night. In the GS, we have these plaques that say, 'Family' on them. The 'amily' part is painted a dark brown, the 'F' is the same color as the background. From a distance, they look quite odd. So anyways, Boss Lady asked if I could somehow fix one up a bit. So last night, I painted it, so now it looks like it says 'Family' on it. If it sells,  I will do the other 6 we have in stock and hope they all sell!
  We had 3 cast iron bird doorstops that were just plain brown. No-one bought them for a long time. I finally convinced  Boss Lady to let me take one home, paint it up a bit, bring it back and see if it would sell. It did and not too long after I brought it back too! One was a robin, one a thrush and the other was some kind of fat bird I don't really know what kind. We have none left anyways. That's the goal.
  Now that I'm thinking of this, we have 2 cast iron horses that have been in the GS a long time, maybe after I finish the plaques, I'll do those. Good idea!
  I hope you have a great day and the sun is shining in your world!
