Congratulations on the home-nearly-being-finished! I can just picture you riding your bike with paint cans balanced on the handle bars:)

KK:  Have you noticed how we are always doing stuff for our adult kids that we don't even do for ourselves?  I'm guilty of the same thing, but like you said, it's pretty cool watching those kids become responsible young adults, isn't it?  I'm glad you had a great day! 

Well - the beautiful Kristal Kraft riding a bike and painting all in one day - that's cool.. How exciting for your daughter.. God bless,

Kristal, I got a good laugh out of picturing you riding standing with one customer on the seat and the other on his shoulders! LOL.

You set time aside today that not only made a prettier home for your daughter but you painted memories for both of you. She won't ever forget that you took that time off for her...and, your muscles may remind you for a while too!

I'm glad you had a great day!

Later in the rain~Deb

Kristal: These are the days that punctuate life. Kudos!

I installed a new hot water heater for my son in his first house. He took cold showers for a month. All he had to do was ask. He is on his own now and dad does not butt in. He does just fine without me.

I just started working out again after finding excuse after excuse not to.  It has been life changing.  I don't know what it is about working out or changing your routine that clears you mind a refreshes you sole.  But it does!  For those of you who feel like you are in a dark hole and you can't get out... take a walk and stop to smell the flowers!

Hi Kristal...How about some before and during makeover pictures now and soon, the after photos.  I'm sure many of us would like to see them.

My days differ so much from one to the other that I do not think in terms of having much of a schedule.

By the way, your day sounded pretty good to me (and healthy).

Hi Kristal,

Ah, yes.  Thank for sharing a slice of your life today and feeling some satisfaction!  I think we all need to shake it up a bit and get out of our routine.  I agree.  I have started my walking program again in my beautiful neighborhood.  Lots of man made ponds and walking trails.  It is so much fun to see all of the beautiful landscapes all around.  I did a We Make Color Easy Training in Evergreen, in May and visited one of my high school friiends I had not seen for 18 years in Denver.  Fun to know what it is like there when I see the name of the city, since, I now have visited there!  Have fun and Good for you!

Have a Colorful Day!

What a wonderful day you had, KK. Congratulations to your daughter and much success on getting the home beautified adn ready to live in soon.

Kristal, what a very cool day you had! You must be proud of your daughter on what she did...apparently she was raised right!

What a great way to spend a day.  It helps to have a few days like these to put everything in perspective.

KK-what a wonderful day!  I can't wait to be there when my son realizes his homebuying dreams.  I don't know about the painting though.  We are buying an investment condo right now and it needs painted badly.  I'm not looking forward to it!

Right (Ride)On!!! The true meaning and spirit of eco-community with a nice tinge of green to boot! Loved this post. Thanks!

I to do not paint. My husband thinks I do, but it takes me forever to get the process done. Good luck and I know it will looks awesome in that week time frame.

Painting...that's all I seem to be doing nowadays...good exercise!

Thanks for yout tasking the time to provide us with this information in the Active Rain network. AR is the new "cyber backbone" of the industry, and with it's uplink to Localism.com it will transfrom the marketplace. Agents who don't see which way the cyberwind is blowing are going to find themselves at a considerable disadvantage inside of three to five years.

Kristal - there's a family bonding in painting together. We all painted my offices together, a sunshine yellow - Mom's job (me) was to keep the glasses filled with margaritas - they didn't let me near a paintbrush!

LOL Sharon I can understand why you are not permitted near a paintbrush.  Margaritas and painting don't mix!

Kristal, what a neat opportunity to spend time with your daughter. You must be very proud. It's such a great feeling when they're out on their "own." ;-)

Great satisfaction. Well done and you helped your daughter. What a good day.

I love redoing things to make them better - makes me want to paint my living room.  On second thought, I think I'll do that another day, or year.  I'm taking the day off to take the kids to the water slides - that's more fun than painting.

always good to change things up and take the routine out of life...

Thanks for the post!    Important information -- one step "out" always means two steps forward, and a "rest is as good as a change".

Kristal, now I know who I'm going to invite for a fun week or two in our nations's capital!  Not only do you paint, but you might be able to fix my bike's flat tire!  Actually, I get a lot of satisfaction looking at my guy Carlos' work when he finished painting a room in my house! 

Krystal,

Thanks for the post. Sounds as though your daughter's purchase was an excuse for you to have some fun quality time. Good for you, we need to get all we can these days.

Congrats to Val! Way to go! Yeah who!
