The large chapel porch has a new coat of paint. It was a daunting task with so much gingerbread trim and lattice work. But the family crew did it together to the sounds of The Drive oldies on the radio. It took three gallons of white stain and several paint brushes and mini rollers. Now the porch looks like a wedding cake, which is appropriate since it has seen over 2,000 weddings…and more to come.
