For awhile I've been wanting to get a picnic bench for the kids, so they can sit outside and eat or do projects that are too messy to do indoors. I was just going to go to walmart and buy one of those cheap, plastic ones because i just wanted one so bad. But when i brought it up to frank he said, "well I'll just build one, it will be better and cheaper." OHHHH, what a great idea, something that daddy will make for them. So he went to Lowe's and got all the materials and started it that very same day. While i was sitting outside watching him build it, i thought to myself.. I'm going to take pictures, this will be a great memory. Daddy building this picnic bench with his own two hands for our kids, something that i truly hope will hold up to give to my grand kids. I felt so emotional at that very minute because this meant so much to me, it was so much better than buying one. Is there a memory that you remember from your childhood that just makes you smile? Well i hope this bench is something they will always remember, i hope they remember all of us sitting around this special little bench laughing on a hot summer day while eating our dinner. We have ate outside almost every day since frank made it and they love it so much. The best past is i don't care what kind of mess they make because we are outside, who cares!! Not to toot my husbands horn too much but it only took him 2 hours to do it and all the neighbors couldn't stop complimenting him on it. They couldn't believe he built it. We even got asked by a friend that lives down the street to make one for her kids, look at that, hmm maybe we can start a business. Maybe i can talk frank into quitting the army and becoming a picnic bench builder?? For some reason i dont think he will go for that. Oh well, a lady could try, right?? So here it is...the love of my life building a picnic bench for my 3 other loves of my life. Enjoy.
