Painted – again
Monday I painted the back of our house, dark red. I was pretty pleased with myself. I'd gotten the paint at Restore, (a Habitat- for-Humanity-Goodwill-type store) for $6. A whole gallon and a designer color. The front and sides of the house are pale yellow -– painted those parts right after we moved in.
As I sat admiring my handiwork, I got to “thinkin”. Eleven houses we have painted. Soon after we buy a house, Dan wants it painted. He chooses the color and the house gets a new look. Whether the house needs painting or not I get to paint it.
I wonder why he always does this. I wonder why it has taken me over 40 years to realize that I married Tom Sawyer.
