Weekend ski adventure

Travis and I had a great day of spring skiing on the warmest day of the year so far (all of about 50*).  We went to Saddleback Mt. In Rangley, Me.  This is one of my Favorite mountain.  The snow was nice and soft making it easier to challenge myself  by going onto more un-groomed trails and glades.  Falling doesn't hurt when the snow is nice and soft like it was. And I did definitely fall a few times haha.  It was also their annual Pond Skimming day so we got to watch a bunch of people get wet on skis.  There was a surprising amount of people that made it all the way across.  Toward the end there were some impressive runs.  One guy did a back flip out of the water at the end and another went in backwards.  It was a fun day of much needed fresh air and sun.  Odly enough my Uncle doug was making a splash by being the first of 100 to get all the way across the pond over in VT at Sugarbushes pond skimming day. He even made the paper.

Productive day of Painting.

Today I got home from work early so after picking the paint color yesterday and getting all the supplies to do the job, I decided to do it tonight.  Finished both the ceiling and walls tonight so that we can start putting up the trim and the bead board this weekend.  (That is why there is no paint on the bottom half of the walls.  Beadboard is more durable for my childlike kicking off of my shoes at the end the day.) Soon we will be able to move the bench and coat rack out here and put a rod in the closet.  Hard to believe just how much work goes into finishing this one little room.  This color is sort of a slate gray that matches the tiles.  The beadboard, the trim and the chair rail will all be white.  I think it will look very nice when all done.  So many other projects to go after this.
