Today I spent the afternoon with my Dear Dad! He has been such a help to me the past several years with all sorts of projects!
Dad retired 4-5 years ago! And since then my sister, Janne, and I have kept him quite busy with what we call "daddy-do's"
He helps me out with my yard....that really is to much for me to handle on my own....he has helped me weed, dig up, transplant, and weed and weed and weed....LOL my yard.
Today we tackled my back jungle yard...we haven't really worked on it this past year....concentrating mostly on the front yard. He has come over to help me pick my very thorny black berries....even getting him self scratched up in the process.
For the past several years he has helped me to set up and even sell at the various craft shows that I work every year! He also comes back and helps me to take down the displays when the show is over!
I can call him pretty much any time with my daddy do wish list....and we work out a time he can come over to help....as long as it isn't during a BSU foot ball game, one of the grandkids sporting events, or his beloved Jets are playing!
He has helped me paint crafty items, make my craft cards I sell, organize my garage.....even helped me clean out a very messy litter box one time! He is always available to go on a showing if I am feeling uncomfortable at a vacant house....and he helps me put up my signs!
He is the one that comes over and cleans and preps my turkey so I don't have to touch it when it is raw!
I don't know what i would do with out him as my husband lives out of state currently and it is hard to work full time and still get everything I like to do done!
The best part is that he rarely will complain....he just gets right in there and helps me out!!! As well as my sister in her home based busines....and I think the grandkids will attest to the fact that he is the best Papa ever!
I have even had friends who have asked if I could rent my dad out! LOL Can you believe that he isn't interested? I am kind of glad as I still have lots of projects for him!
So I thank my Dad....Larry for all he does for me and for his family!!!
Thanks Dad!!!
