a splash of nostalgia this morning as I join Lisa-Jo for a quick #FiveMinuteFriday on the prompt..

Red:

is now the color of the tailgate from the wagon that we rode in just after  we said “I thee wed..”

we rode all alone “Mr. & Mrs.” from our little white church to our “home sweet home”

to celebrate with family and friends our covenant and promise to love each other “til death do us part”

..It’s been almost 17 years now since we painted that wagon in his daddy’s shop.  I remember the fret and worry if  it was the “right” color green.  He wanted it to be just right.  It was then and now..

The tailgate refurbished now as a red shelf hangs under the painting of our little rascals feet.

What began as us …is now complete as four

And though our morning chatter is quieter now … life with homeschooling, hay baling, horseshoeing, the feed store and more

he’s still the man for me

now and forever more
