A few days later, Elizabeth and Sydney sat on the newly extended and stained deck off the dining room, watching the workmen paint the residence. Brian was out front of the farmhouse applying the finishing coat to the porch and stairs.
They were supposed to be in Kelowna getting Elizabeth a walking cast but the doctor had an emergency. The office asked them to come in at the beginning of next week.
Elizabeth took a sip of her lemonade. “I love that brick colour you chose for the exterior walls. You know me, pastels are my thing. But the contrast with the black roof is rich, even if it is a little bold.”
“That's why I chose white for the trim, to tone it all down a little,” Sydney said. “By next week, they should be done.”
“Then it's just you and me. Monday, I get my walking cast.”
