Another exhausting day! We pressure washed the house and it was an all day job! I had to take a break and take Catherine to the doctor for her Immunization update so she can start college the end of August. Once I was back home I took over and let Larry take a break. We took turns to try to prevent either of us making a mess of our backs. We have a separate 3 car garage that has a metal roof. Well, it was black and needed washing very bad. So we got Sparkys bucket truck and Larry crawled inside. I was in control of all the knobs and switches. He would yell down to me what to do to maneuver him where he needed to be. It’s not easy. You would think it would be just, up, down, side to side but it’s a little more complicated than that. I was sitting on a block working the controls and when Larry would get to the edge of the roof the water would spray me and I was drenched! I pretty much stayed that way all day…even my hair was soaked! Anyway, it’s done and we saved the $450 that was quoted for our house to be pressure washed. My daddy would be so proud. His little girl was using that machine like a pro. I thought about him most of the day again today. I know that when you get to Heaven your not supposed to know grief, pain, sadness or tears therefore, people don’t’ “look down” on us because the world is full of all those things. But, I so hope that my daddy could see us today. I don’t know why and it probably sounds dumb but I think he would have a big ole’ grin on his face and those chubby cheeks would be full of chuckles. I so hope that he would be proud of the woman, wife and mother I have become. I also hope that he knows that I have a wonderful husband and that I finally got it right!
Ok, enough of that, I’m crying now. I miss him so much!
I’m off to dream land. We have to wake up around 4:20. Larry is taking Cat and Laura to church. They are going to Colorado for a youth camp. (Please pray for safe travel.) Then he will come back home and leave for work a little later. A big weekend is coming up…stay tuned!
