House Painting

In America's past, communities came together to "raise" a barn for one of their neighbors.  In my case, I'm painting a house with our ranch manager's wife, Carly.  They live in an old ranch house on Colter's grandfather's ranch, our nearest neighbor.  Nothing has been painted in their house for over 20 years.  Needless to say, it is in need of freshening up.  I arrived by 8 a.m. this morning at their house and left a bit after 6 p.m.  Carly and I never left the kitchen in those 10 hours.  We caulked and painted all day.  I'm going back again tomorrow morning.  It's good to be reminded of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
