How The House Has Grown

Sunday

Today was the day…

I had a good rest. I didn’t do much, that I can say. A Skype call with Stacey and Elsie, lots of rest and lunch with the family. I had a quiet afternoon. This evening I had a chat with my friend Debbie in the UK who celebrates her birthday today. She’s the Debs that had the brain injury after falling off a horse in January 2013. Grateful for another year!

So what was going on a year ago? A year ago we were looking in awe at this picture sent to us from the Light Steel Frame company. What? Is that really what our house will look like?

In the beginning…

The best is yet to come.

Keep the smile going.
