Papa and I set a quarter mile of t-posts today on a piece of property I've owned for several years. We accomplished all we hoped and will have help over the weekend, to string the barbed wire. As we were driving home, I thought about the various things I do and how I'm just as comfortable doing manual labor, like setting t-posts, laying a stone wall, washing windows... as I am visiting the Louvre or the Picasso Museum in Paris, shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue, and entertaining all kinds of people in our home. I am so grateful for the variety of life experiences I've had, a terrific husband whose had an interesting career and now we share an interesting and active retirement. Life is good!
