Yesterday, Oldest Lad spent the day "staining" the swing set and the play set in the back yard. The swing set was in the yard when The Family moved in. Dad built the play set in the drive way, and then assembled it in it's current resting spot. As both structures are made of wood (except of course the swings, slide, etc.,) they periodically need to be stained/water sealed. Today Oldest Lad is expected to finish up the play set and move on to staining the outside portion of the back porch.

Of course it was Me, Home Maintenance Pennie, who stayed nearby, supervising Oldest Lad, all day. Where was Sophie? Queen Sophie spent the day stretched out upon a chaise lounge chair, upon the covered portion of the back porch. I suppose in her Queen Sophine mind she is certain that she was overseeing her domain, but to me it looked like she was getting a good nap in, under cover of the screened-in porch, while I worked all day.
