Various work and projects

As some of you will remember, last year in October, we posted about our town's annual quilt show. http://johnstownalbertsons.blogspot.com/2007_10_28_archive.html Every year we put up ~8 signs in the area around Johnstown advertising the quilt show. This year we built board frames for the signs, since other means of hanging, stretching, or posting these signs haven't worked as well.
This is Mike Durkee and Jeff working on one...

..while Daddy, Jason, and I worked on another one. I am really "working" by standing on the corner while Daddy screwed the joint together!

In the evening of last Saturday, Emily was mowing while the aforementioned 5 of us were building the last two frames. She's pretty proud of being able and allowed to mow our yard.

As I mentioned in the "Anniversary Party Prep" post we had to "dig" under our stairs (in the storage area) to find some of the decorations. The boys and Daddy enjoyed studying some treasures they found - old pictures Daddy shot and developed ~25 years ago (beautiful pictures) and slide pictures as well.
Here they are studying the slides, surrounded by empty boxes that were stored under the stairs.

Mother found a box full of baby clothes (she thought she had given them all away years ago) and she and Emily enjoyed looking through them. Emily was also looking for clothes to fit John Ethan (her doll).
