Fix Me Up

The majority of my break has been occupied with helping my parents do odd jobs around the house.  For example, today we went back to the old house, which is now on the rental market, and repainted some the rooms that had scuff marks on the walls.

Earlier this week, I helped my parents decorate the house they now live in.  They hadn't hung anything up on the walls yet, making the whole place feel very... institutional.  So, I forced them to dig out all of the old paintings and family portraits from the attic.

Et voilà!  Now the house finally looks and feels like there are people living in it.
