Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.<\/fieldset>\n

Hey, I am just trying to be helpful…like any good “helpmeet” would:)<\/p>\n

The back screened door works nicely and I am glad to keep the cats off the back porch… cat hair on the cushions is annoying. It has helped alot to have the tilling done in time for me to plant those broccoli plants before the rains. I realize we had to move the mailbox, but it actually looks better in it’s new place. So, all in all, I am happy with the beginning of momentum in knocking out those pesky maintenance jobs (finally). <\/p>\n

I hope to take a few pictures of our kitchen to post here and to resume talking about what we both consider to be the highlight of our remodeling career here in the do-it- yourself house. I am still getting satisfaction from having such a nice kitchen. I think my happiness meter has been in the positive for more than seven years on that one.<\/p>\n

Now, I am solacing (comforting, rewarding)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
