Day 3, primed and ready

Did I mention the house is old...like 260 years old...time to repaint.  Alain and Daniel spent this Spring prepping the house for Kleta and my arrival. They put up lots of sheetrock and insulation in anticipation of us coming to paint. Of course it keeps the house warm too, but I digress. So how do you make a house that is really old that now looks new because of the sheet rock, look old again? You first prime, prime and prime. We spent the first day priming the entry way, the salon (a really big room that is serving as a second bedroom, but will probably end up being a sitting room) the bathroom and the bedroom. Everyone was on board with a roller in hand. 

After working so hard who could cook? Only a superman...Alain !!!  We had a hearty pasta dish with a fabulous salad picked right from our garden and Jaqueline brought us over a mirabelle tarte. Did I tell you I like mirabelles?

Doesn't this look like a piece of art? but it tastes much better...mirabelle tarte.
