We woke to very slightly cooler temperatures this morning. In fact, the next couple of days are supposed to be cooler – highs in the low 90s! Better late than never, right?

Steve and Chris finished out the eaves and soffits on the east and north sides of the house so that I will have something to paint tomorrow. They also finished putting up new siding on the wall below where it meets the brick. 

I cleaned off and painted the outside of the new french doors. There's not a lot of area to paint but darned if it doesn't make a difference. I didn't realize how reflective the glass is. If you look close you can see me in my painting clothes holding my camera. 

Steve and Chris spent some time taking down unneeded wires on the last wall of the garage. Amazingly enough, this is the last area that needs to be renovated. Our goal was to be done by Wednesday, July 11 and I think we're going to make it!

I haven't written at all about the play that Chris and Elanor are in. The play is Sarah, Plain and Tall which is being put on by Theatricks here in Sherman, TX. Rehearsals began before we started the renovation. Dress rehearsal was last Thursday and there have been performances Friday, Saturday, and today. The show continues through next weekend. I have no idea how Chris is managing except that he young(er than we are).

I haven't seen the play yet. We have tickets for the last performance, next Sunday. I have heard reports that Chris and Elanor are good in their roles. Here's a photo Chris took of Elanor backstage opening night. She is not Sarah, nor plain, but she is tall for her age!
