Lennon white paint job

So the whole time we were selecting paint colors the paint guy and I were talking about Linen White...and Phil is standing there hearing "Lennon White" which makes sense in his head because he's thinking of this: By the way, the paint center at Ace in East Atlanta Village is amazing--the guy there was a phenomenal help in getting us going on this project. Also a phenomenal help--Phil's mom and sister who drove down from Charlotte to lend a hand. There was some cute mother-son painting going on.And some sister-brother painting.And a really good 5-year-old who only needed a pile of stuffed animals, one beading kit, a drawing pad and some Mary Poppins to keep her busy for about 48 hours of boring grownups painting.And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the spackle ghost. At first I thought Phil was seeing a vision of Jesus on the walls and I figured the new place was going to get overrun by pilgrimages, but it turned out just to be a (presumably) nondenominational ghost.Small dogs were NOT helpful...this one managed to get a few extra spots on her while trying to sneak into the freshly painted sections of the house. She's now a brindle/Lennon white dog.
