Aww, thank you.
More than once, I've bumped up against a situation that I thought someone was supposed to fix. When it turned out that no one else was going to address it, I gritted my teeth and did it myself. We do the best we can with what we've got.

My second husband was a defrocked Irish Jesuit priest. Prior to coming to the U.S. he had led an extremely sheltered life. The fire was the worst thing that had ever happened to him; he never really got over it. It was not the worst thing that had ever happened to me, so I just got to work. Sometimes you have to be the take-charge person when no one else is stepping up. This was the life I had created for my children and by God! nothing was going to take that away from them.

I'm nobody special. Legend? There are indeed legends on this board, but I'm not one of them. We all do what we have to do. But thank you for the kind words. You guys make me wanna tear up. ~snif~

Islander, you designed that yourself? And built it yourself? That's impressive. I like the way it all turned out. What kind of wood did you use on the walls?
