Fishing and Painting

Last weekend Bill and I finally took our fishing trip. We went to the White River in Arkansas to do a little trout fishing. We stayed in Calico Rock and we were taken care of by Jenkins’ Motel and Fishing. It was a LOT of fun. We didn’t catch a ton of fish because the water was high, but we had a blast. We caught enough to keep it interesting at least. While we were there we visited the Leatherwood Cafe and Don Quixote. Both were pretty good meals. The Jenkins folks really did take care of us. Nice people.

I’ve also been trying to paint the house over the past couple of weekends. I’ve been pretty busy so it has taken longer than I thought it would. We bought some really, really good paint. 5 gallons of it. Turns out that in covers like a dream. So well, in fact, that we barely used over a gallon. So now we have $200 worth of custom tinted paint that will most likely sit in the garage until we move. Apparently the paint calculator I used was WAY off.

Laura came up to see us this week. She just got back from a mission trip in Africa. She had a blast. My parents are coming up tomorrow. They’re going to stay for a day or so. We’re having all sorts of family in!
