We finished painting the dining room Saturday. It’s a nice rich blue. While halfway through painting, I went to Home Depot to buy a ladder.

I’m happy to report that yes, you CAN purchase a ladder through the self checkout line. (Please picture in your mind the checkout machine demanding that the ladder be placed in a bag, on the counter, before allowing the process to continue.)

On coming out of the store, I met John and the ubiquitous Emma G. The evening light was nice, so I paused and took pictures.

Then I went home.

And spilled paint on the carpet.

However this article on how to remove latex paint from carpet, did the trick.
