Road Trip to Grandma's

So as you will see in the post below...I got a new car on Monday. Perfect timing as I had a pre-planned trip up to my mom's house to help her paint the inside of her house and was taking James with me as Freddy had his mom this weekend. So was NICE to be in the new car for the road trip...drove great, we were comfy and loving it! Left at 5:30 AM on Friday morning, got to mom's like 9:40 AM I think it was? Pretty good time. Today's trip home was a bit longer only due to "child needing to potty....a LOT on the way home, but still not bad, think it took us 5 hours and that was with 3 stops along the way...cant complain...I was in my new car! HA!

Well the painting at mom's went GREAT!! I literally painted EVERY wall in her house except for her two bathrooms and her bedroom, while Mom painted the baseboards and trim around the doors. It looks so freakin awesome! Like a totally new place now. She did it in the same color I did most of my house recently (relaxed khaki) and she is as in love with the color as I am. here are some before and after pics of her place....she had a light sagey green on her living room walls, and basicaly an off white everywhere else before.........looks pretty damned good if I do say so myself now!!!! Had a great time this weekend Mom!!! Glad we were able to come up and see you and help you paint!!! We love you!
