Yes, gratitude....that's what I'm feeling today......we've spent 4 days in a war zone that will eventually yield some beautiful things. Hubby dug a 5 foot deep trench for 130 feet and then dropped in a water line going to his garage. What a mess....all in 90 degree heat. We were up on Sunday night until 1 AM hauling away our old deck, old hottub and back stairs to make way for the carpenters due to arrive Monday morning at 7 AM. Here it is Wednesday and my new, improved and much larger deck is almost finished. Next a large part of our living room wall will be removed to make way for our addition. We're in a total mess but I feel so blessed. A few months ago we would have never dreamed we could do this...it's so appreciated!
