Memorial Day = Bar-B-Q, baseball and bad weather.

How was everyone's Memorial weekend?  I hear there were a lot of tornados and bad weather around the midwest.  It was nearly perfect here most of the weekend.  It did rain Monday evening so the bar-b-que we were at was moved indoors but was still fun.

Tyler is playing baseball and they had to finish their game in a downpour and hail tonight.  I've never seen 7 year old boys hustle as much as those two teams did when the wind picked up and the cold rain hit. 

This week is going to be a workout for all of us here.  Origins first "Serve Day/Weekend" is this weekend and there is a lot of prep work to be done on a house that we'll be painting.  Today there were about 8 of us scraping paint and de-glazing and re-glazing windows on a house.  This house is in BAD need of a paint job, so scraping is quite the chore.  We hope to get all of the scraping done and the house primed before Saturday so it can be painted on Saturday and finished up on Sunday.  Hopefully the hideous screeching sound of paint scrapers on wood will leave my head before I fall asleep tonight.  I hate that sound!   My shoulders are sore and I think I hear a heating pad and copious amounts of ibuprofin calling my name tonight.
