Lori came over today and we started another project.

I have the kitchen table/chairs and a cupboard that Mark's grandparents bought when they first got married. When Grandma first gave it to us, I tried to refinish it, but it was too banged up to look good, so I've always kept it painted. The paint I put on a few years ago chips off, so I'm taking it off, sanding it down, and painting it black.

It may take a while to finish, but it's wonderful being able to take everything out in Mark's machine shed and have plenty of room to work.

For now we're all crowding around a card table in the kitchen to eat. There's plenty of extra floor space though.
