Good morning, Father! THANK YOU for the soothing rain pittering on the roof as I type, barely audible above the droning of my laptop fan, lol. Thank you for helping us get so many things done outside yesterday before the rain started, including all my outdoor chores until tomorrow, heehee. THANK YOU for helping my Mate and I work on our good friend’s truck yesterday, and thank you for guiding us both in FINALLY getting the four bolts into their places. It was actually rather invigorating to struggle to get into a position where I could both see (sort of) and be able to push and pull and wriggle the gas tank into place, me all sprawled out beneath the jacked-up vehicle. My neck and shoulder are still a bit sore, but when that thing finally went into its designated position — after about an hour of trying everything either of us thought up — it was worth it, as the well-earned triumph bonded my Mate and I even more. He jumped up, whooping and exultant — which made me feel even more triumphant, lol. I must say, I really do tend to enjoy men’s toys and tasks more than women’s, for the most part! However, I actually enjoy nature and technology even more — a couple of traditionally gender-neutral fields, yet seemingly polar opposites, heehee. THANK YOU Lord, for the amazing and encouraging progress I’ve made on the NEW eNewsletter I’ve created (at last!): Fran’s FREEBIES & News. In one week, I will be sending out the FIRST issue to subscribers… I can’t wait! :D
