❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.

He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......

So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.

As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.

She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."

I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.

So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....

PROJECT: Picnic Table

Now that was kind of a fun project..... Yes there is the "P" word I try to avoid.... BUT if I don't come up with something to do that interests him....for the day.... he'll fill in the void and that could be bad.

He was still in bed but was awake drinking his morning coffee...... that's when he thinks about what to do today.... So I sat on the edge of the bed and interrupted his train of thought with a "ahum" sound..... He looked at me and said "what?"

"I have an idea for a project today if your interested"........ "What?"..... How about we build a small picnic table out of the boards that are left on the used board pile."........"There probably isn't enough boards"....... "There is if we make it a 5 foot table"........ There was silence....... "Okay that might be fun!"

As usual he was out the door as soon as his feet hit the ground..... He went out to round up the stuff we needed while I ran the vacuum through the house. (four dogs = lots of dog hair that requires daily vacuuming)..........

Our old picnic table was 2x6's...... (which we were using as a pattern)  
We had 2x4's.... I knew Tom would have a problem adjusting for that .....to get the table to come out right...... but I THOUGHT I had that part figured out...... NOT!

TOM wants to go from A to Z and skip what goes in between.  Wasn't as bad as it use to be though... Even though he was verbally showing his frustration (the rage) and passion isn't there.  It's more like empty words...... as he was visually confused to the max and totally frustrated.

But as he was putting in the last screws he was smiling.....
 He loved our crooked little picnic table singing with character.  I brought us out a cup of coffee to celebrate our accomplishment and than the girls had to check it out . 
 "Good job Dad"....said Lilly......"I LOVE it"
Tomorrow the plan is for him to sand the top and I have some deck stain I can put on it to preserve the wood and hopefully it will give us a few years........

No the girls are not allowed on the table in the house and I am not impressed that Tom invites them up on the picnic table.... BUT I pick my battles and that one I let slide........

Congratulations on the new table Tom and Cyn. Good use of leftover wood.

The photo of Lilly and Tom is priceless. Doggy kisses are the best.

Take care you two
