Maybe this post should have been saved for Father's Day, however I woke with this on my mind this morning so just bear with me as I share my topic with you this morning. All of you have met Mr. P. many times here on the blog. He is my partner in life, my very best friend, and the father of our daughter Holly, and granddaughter Darbee Rae. God has blessed us with a wonderful soon to be 42 years together. Sometime we can just look at each other and know what the other one is thinking . Yes we are human, and sometime our tempers run short, we disagree, but we forgive and life goes on.
Mr. P. is one of the most driven and hard working men I know. And that is the subject of this post. As you know we have been doing some major improvements here at the home place. They started back in December with the installation of new countertops and back splash.
As the old saying goes,,,, One thing calls for another. So true. And my poor Mister has been on a roll. Next, all the old wallpaper came off the walls in the kitchen and new paint now covers the walls. Believe me this was not an easy task.
He tore out the bay window and opened up the space leading into the now new sunroom//dining room while the girls and I were on a trip to the Great Smokey Mountains. That was a huge undertaking and labor intensive. But we love the results. I have on previous blogs shared the photos for all the improvements mentioned above.
We had a new roof installed, all new windows put in to replace the old and a new slider door installed. During this time as contractors were in an out and dodging all the spring time rain we have been getting, the mister was hard at work doing improvements inside and out himself.
Most of the time after working 10 hours at work, he would come in , have supper, and then get busy again until darkness ran him inside or he completely wore himself out. He tore away our old front steps and replaced them with new ones
Hehe, see my foot in the picture. Yes, I sat on the porch and cheered him on. You know you need encouragement when working, LOL
Notice,,, the color changed. From red to blue. So..... Painting the porch came next.
And in the process,,, the banisters got a new coat of paint also. You can see in this photo the shutters are still red, and will get a new coat of paint after all the pollen is gone and the house gets pressure washed.
Inside after doing the sunroom/dining room the floor needed a new coat of paint.
Whew,,, don't it make you tired just seeing all the work in progress? Well, if that was not enough, this past week, he started building a deck outside of this room. The new slider just spoke to us that a deck was needed. Before there was just steps leading outside.
Of course he had some help. Darbee Rae getting a lesson on how to mix cement. {smile}
So,,, don't you think I am a lucky lady? I am so thankful for my mister. He is the most wonderful man. I thank God daily for giving us these wonderful years together.
I too have been busy. With all the contractors inside doing the windows, I found a spot in my craft room and have gotten ahead for the fall show. You can see I have gotten lots done over the last month or two. HEHE,,,, now this summer I can roam more with the girls and work less,!!
Hope you have enjoyed visiting with me. At the end of the day, God is good and all is well,
Until next time.......
