Storytelling

As a testament to Jane Smiley's writing, and the tales in The Greenlanders, yesterday I told my wife about Margaret and Asta, who lived apart from everyone during the summer and had to stay with another family and help out during the winter. We were doing some finishing touches on the 2nd bedroom.

Regarding painting, I'll remember from now on not to use grey primer where I plan to put white paint. The worst of it was I had some white primer I could have used. The grey primer suited the walls fine, which were to recieve a dark periwinkle, but the same grey primer was also put onto the borders around the doors and on the baseboard. 3 coats of paint to cover that grey primer with the white, and in some places I'm not entirely sure it's covered. I'll leave it to the wife to decide.
