The weekend after Labor Day is a famous one around here. Afterall, what's not to like about several huge festivals (including Greek, Italian and Popcorn) all in a 48 hour period? So like any good citizen, we took it upon ourselves to visit (i.e. eat at) several of the local festivities. The food at the Italian festival was amazing, as you'd probably guess, and there was also a live band, so it was fun to wander around, eat pizza/calzones/cannoli/pasta fagoli and enjoy the atmosphere.
We didn't spend all weekend eating, though! We noticed the exterior trim on the house was looking pretty faded - and worse in some places. Given what we know about how the rest of the house was maintained, it probably hadn't been painted in 15 years. So, we made a stop at the store to get our paint color matched and then set to work. We got the entire back of the house done, as well as the walk way to the front door. Of course, that leaves us with the hardest part to paint - all the peaks. Oh well...that's what next weekend is for! (And maybe the next few weekends after that...)
The highlight of our week, though, was the voicemail that was waiting for us on Friday morning - our nephew was born on Thursday night! We've seen a few pictures, and he's a cutie. Can't wait to see more.
