I am married to a very good carpenter.
This obviously means that I have things that need to be repaired by a carpenter.
For some reason he becomes oblivious to the broken wood fences or warping bridges that need mending once he crosses the threshold to our home. And he prefers that I do not fix them as he is “getting to it”.
For Thanksgiving we had the pleasure of having several children at the farm. As we went up to the horse pasture to feed the horses carrots and pet their fuzzy noses one of the youngsters couldn’t help but notice that the board that the horses were leaning over was “rotting”.
Why yes Virginia it is.
Do you know what that sweet child said to me? That I could repair the fence with…Glitter and glue. Well, I’ll be! We discussed that for additional support that duct tape should also be a part of the repair.
6 years old and is knowledgeable about all things duct tape and that it now comes in array of colors including zebra. Awesome.
This week I will be repairing the fence board. I have made a big sparkly green bow to hang on it once the glitter and glue dries.
