I have t-111 siding that was stained for the last 10 years. I stained it every other year. We would like to paint the house now. Do I need to prime the house or will the paint stick as is. We will change from a dark brown to a light tan color. Thanks.

Assuming you used a semi-transparent latex stain, you can paint with a latex house paint, but given you are going to a lighter colour, it's quite likely you'll be doing two coats. In that case make the first coat a quality primer tinted to your finish colour.
