Always fun to see all the Lehmann&#8217;s and enjoy their great food and fellowship.<br \/>\nWe got home Wednesday night around 8:30 and Laurie went right to work painting the dining room. I tell you what, when she gets her mind set on something there&#8217;s not much that can stop her. She had briefly started painting on Tuesday night before our community group but we really went to town Wednesday night. Unfortunately we ran out of painter&#8217;s tape so we avoided some spots near the ceiling and window trim.<br \/>\nWe ran out of paint in our first can around midnight so Laurie started cleaning up and getting prepped to make her infamous potato casserole for our Thanksgiving meal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/2057002613\/\" title=\"photo sharing\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2071\/2057002613_de5c5410dc_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: solid 2px #000000;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jdblundell\/2057002613\/\">Almost done<\/a><br \/>\nOriginally uploaded by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/jdblundell\/\">Jonathan D.
