The house started to shape up nicely. Lizzy brought a sewing machine down to Edie and some material so she made some curtains for the two kitchen windows and door window. And put a curtain around the bottom of the sink to hide the cleaning items. She crocheted doilies and placed them everywhere. One on the table with a canning jar with some artificial flowers that Susan found in someone's junk. Edie scraped up a few dollars for paint and got a neighbor to get some for the kitchen. A pretty yellow to match the flowered curtains would do. The neighbor was quite surprised to think Edie was going to paint. And also this was her first time. This should be interesting! Well, Edie did paint the walls and she taught Susan too. And between the both of them it turned out pretty good. The walls had to be touched up here and there. They hadn't been painted in years. Edie and Susan stood back and they were quite happy with themselves. The neighbor (who became a good friend and her name was Mary) was really surprised to see what these two had done. She said she didn't know how to paint and they could paint her kitchen.
