Oh, Janet!!!! I am still giggling! This was so, so good! I loved every wonderful word!
I LOVE doing DIY stuff (although not on ladders either!) and I LOVE tools and especially power tools - but I don't know what to do with them unless someone sticks one in my hands, shows me what to do and says, "Okay, GO!"
I am in my glory. I love that stuff! If I could do my life over again, I'd go to trade school of some sort - probably carpentry - that's my fave - and also masonry - love stonework!
Bless your dear heart being so patient with Mr. M! Perhaps you'll have to "Hire-a-hubby" on the sly and tell him you fix things yourself via YouTube! :)
Thanks for a wonderful read!
