Risi, I just wanted to add that your son and son-in-law should give you some respect. It's your house not theirs and what you want done in it should be paramount not them imposing their ideas on your space. As for men and their fragile egos...crikey. I too grew up tomboy and even around this house I've done all the painting and alot of yard and house fixing up. I used to put up fences, cabinetry etc. Grew up doing it. The only time my father noticed me at all was when I was helping him with a project. As a child I used to arrange myself as half fallen out of bed then fake being asleep so that when he'd come to check on me at night he'd have to pick me up and put me back into bed again. Dads don't realise how much we need them to approve of us. Mind you I quit that chase years ago; my thoughts on him now aren't printable! How times change. Losing even the ability most days to hold a paintbrush has robbed me of so much accomplishment and satisfaction. I do sympathise with all your plans and I hope you get to do them. They are utterly beyond me, I'm pushing myself to even do this today. I was SOOOOO impressed with all your canning by the way...BRAVO!!!! TIN |
