My wife went out and sat on the porch swing enjoying the changing weather. I swear she looked like she was 20 again.
Some things are priceless.

Yesterday was another typical dog days of summer type day here with 95+ heat and high humidity. We were sitting doing our normal evening routine when suddenly there was thunder and wind with sprinkling rain. My wife went out and sat on the porch swing enjoying the changing weather. I swear she looked like she was 20 again.

It was 'the' change I've been needing. It finally made me see the changes I've been making around the place as being worth while. I have sat aside money for fireworks for Independence Day. After yesterday evening, I thought, I could either entertain people for 20-30 minutes of fireworks or build a porch swing that'll last a lifetime. I'm going to build that porch swing. Someone else can buy fireworks.
No kidding I can tell you I was 16 years old the last time I spent one thin dime on fireworks.
The town puts on a free show every year and that is what I am going to do.
The whole town shows up.

And remember you dont have to break the bank all at once to build a good one.
