Since it is to be in the 80's all weekend - I thought I would stain the deck. I took a half day from work and that is when the fun began. My "best buddies" Venetia and Bombay decided to help! Yippee I was home, we were all outside and although they had no idea what I was doing up there behind the gate, they were determined to help me. They had their noses between every rail I was planning to stain, stole the extra mixing stick and every pair of shoes I had in the garage and grabbed each branch or shrubbery I needed to cut. In other words they "supervised" every move I made, every stroke of the brush and roll of the roller! After 3 hours, I am exhausted, they are still going strong and we have another 2 days of work! Don't you just love when they HELP? Ann ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
