I will begin by saying this blog is primarily to entertain without any spiritual or intellectual value whatsoever. I just find my husband’s wit entertaining.

A few weeks ago, I flew to Fargo, North Dakota so Scott would not have to travel the 1,100 miles back to the ranch in Colorado by himself. He drove up to help with my son’s most recent project of converting an old (1895) church into a family home. Bonus! — I got to spend time with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons. Oh, yes, and endure the love and attention of three very large, and very active dogs.

My son, not wanting us to get bored, thought it would be great if we painted the newly constructed shed. While my daughter-in-law Eileen (high school principal) worked, I offered to make their weekly laundromat run. Scott began painting the shed. As I was folding clothes, I received a text and the photo included in this post — a photo of Kane covered in light grey paint. The text reflected my husband’s sense of humor. It said, “Do you think he’ll need a second coat?”

I thought it was horribly funny. My daughter-in-law — not so much. All three dogs performed self-highlighting treatments that day, until Scott finally put them inside the shed.

I don’t normally write a blog without meaning. I guess the lesson would be, “You get what you pay for,” or maybe, “Watching paint dry isn’t boring after all!”

Today, and always, we are surrounded by HIS grace,
