Things have been so busy crazy since the last time I posted here....
We did crazy amounts of manual labor at the farm this summer getting ready fo Dad's Celebration of Life and we were given just a perfect day for it!!
In three days we painted nearly three football fields in length of wood fences

We finished, power washed and stained the deck we started with dad and finished without him. =(
There were so many special people that came and joined us to celebrate the wonderful man my dad was.
