So last Thursday, a group of us from church participated in Habitat for Humanity. We worked on a two family home in Newton. I "mudded" throughout the inside of the house and got more on me than the actual wall. I know. I know. what do you expect? I was inside a small electrical closet and then underneath some steps. It was going to happen!! (anyway, the photos make me look cleaner than I actually was)
However, it's what we did outside that brought back some wonderful memories.
We "poured a patio". That's what Dad would have called it. We worked together to lay down a patio for the front of the house. I remembered helping Dad do his side jobs on Saturdays and taking part on the concrete mixing and pouring. That is what we did and I realized that I had not done that since the last time I went out with Dad.
During lunch, we even went to a place that sells southern food - specifically, North Carolina pulled pork BBQ! Dad would have loved this place. I found a Virginia license plate with a nod to the "Mor" family as well. Ok, I am pushing that part a bit...humor me.
So last Thursday, was a little tribute to Dad. I know he was smiling down on me and loving every minute....and probably laughing too.
