By the sweat of my brow

My parents bought a lake house last month and last weekend I went to NW Arkansas to help them move in and renovate. We stripped of wallpaper, painted, and tiled two bedrooms, which took the whole of the five day weekend of the 4th of July. The weekend after next I head back to tackle the living and dining room floors, which are currently covered in pink shag carpeting (which is the stuff of nightmares and horror flicks).

However, true to Petzinger form, the work always gives way to fun and we took several boat breaks to wakeboard and swim. This is the life! We won't be anywhere near done this summer, so I can't have people over yet. I'm thinking a Week in the Word might be just the ticket.
