we helped uncle warren put up wainscoting (is that what it's called??) in gramma's house today. dad used his manliness to pull up all the old baseboards and stuff, mom pulled out all the nails, uncle warren did all the measuring, sawing and nailing, aunt cathy did....well....she did everything AND oversaw us day-laborers, gramma made sure we were fed and happy, and elizabeth ran around yelling unintelligible orders at all of us. oh and we all did some serious wallpaper scraping. it was good times.
