This morning we returned to Louise's and we drove the car today so we took Flo along. Autumn was surprised when Flo walked in the door, she jumped off her chair and said hi to Flo. Louise was sound asleep so we tried to be quiet so we wouldn't disturb her. Today we painted the outside of the door, the first thing we did was prep work I put tape around the windows and doggy door and Larry removed the door knob, lock and seal around the door. Then he taped up the threshold and door hinges to prevent them from getting painted. Then we started painting, I started with a brush but didn't like how it looked so I went to a roller. This looked better but I still had to use the brush along the edges and corners. Larry painted with a brush and he touched up where I missed. He's a lot better painter than I am and is definitely better with a brush. After putting on the first coat I cleaned the tools and then we ate lunch while the paint was drying. When we finished lunch Larry put a second coat on. Flo, Autumn and I stayed outside and sunned while Larry did this. While we were cleaning up Louise woke up to say hi. Larry told her we would be back another day to do the inside of the door. We loaded Flo into the car and homeward bound we went. On the way home we stopped at HEB and did a little grocery shopping. We try to avoid HEB and Walmart on the weekend because they're real busy but we needed to get a few things. HEB definitely was busy but we got what we needed and then went home.
