Learning As We Go

Thank God for My Husband

Posted in Homemaking

God Bless my husband!

I love sunlight in a room, and color on the walls.  My sweet husband was inspired to paint (it only took 6 months to recover from the seven coats of red he put in the boys' room!) so we chose some colors-- navy blue for our bedroom, and a lighter blue (think blue skies and the ocean off the coast of Georgia in summer) for our bathroom.

Then he stayed up late painting... and the light blue was actually periwinkle.  He's not a periwinkle kind of guy.  But because he knew it would make me happy, he kept painting.  And now I have a periwinkle bathroom.  It's lovely.

We suspect the "navy blue" is going to be deep purple... and he's going to paint our room anyway.  He's so good to me.

Your comments have been so encouraging, thanks.

I finished Animal, Vegitable, Miracle last library run, the chapter about turkey breeding made me laugh out loud, then I read it to Dan and he laughed too, the kids wanted to know the joke, but they were supposed to be in bed by then.
