While I was at the Fair...

One of the best parts about being away from home is coming back and discovering what Matt has managed to get done while I was gone (in addition to keeping everyone left behind at home alive and [mostly] happy!)

Yesterday I was at the State Fair ALL day, either dropping kids off for project judging (4H is a big deal in our family), or there myself with a whole crew of other kids from church who are also in our club. I brought Reuben along because he enjoys those sorts of outings (Bobbi has come in past years, but didn't want to this time around) and because he's the hardest one to keep tabs on at home.

This is what happened while I was away:

Trim around the garage door openings! Because the doors are scheduled to be installed later this week! (Garage door installation was another item Matt decided he was not going to do by himself, in particular because the door for Thunder's stall is a pretty hefty door.)

And the white skirt boards at the base of the stairs...on the front side. :) The east facing side isn't done yet. But at least now from the front elevation, it looks very pretty.

 See: not so pretty around the corner yet!
