Boy am I tired, we did a ton of work in the yard. We started out by
by first laying down landscape fabric and then putting down a lot of mulch over a area of the yard that was just planted yesterday. We then moved snow white and the seven dwarfs out and mulched that area. Snow White and the dwarfs belonged to dad mom and when she died in 2002 from a car accident he recived them. After moving them he decided it was time to repaint them, the paint was all cracked and faded. So we carried the fist two over to a well shaded area and started to sand all of the old paint off and I noticed Dad starting to get upset, He had found a finger print that was his Mom's in the old paint. we sat there for a moment and looked at it then he stated that his mom would be really upset with the way they looked so we continued to sand. As we painted we listened as dad told us stories of his mom and her love for these statues and her love for gardening. After we finished 2 of the dawrfs we went for a nice long swim. I look forward to painting the rest of them to hear more about her. Now every time I look at them I will think of the love that is with them.I also learned today what may seem silly to some means the world to others. Good night everyone and dont forget to hug someone you love.

Your Dad saw the fingerprint, but did he feel her hands on his shoulders? Ask him about that.
