Father's Day moment, that made me giggle [View all]

You want to hear a funny one for Father's day? I was going to the store really quick cuz I forgot to get cat food. And the guy on the corner is tearing up his old deck and so there's a bunch of wood on the corner. Looks like redwood actually in good condition at least not too fucked up. I saw him out there and I stopped and asked him if he was going to throw it away and if I could come over and maybe get some of that wood. He said yeah we chatted for a minute.


As I drove away I burst into laughter and realized just how much I am Bill Marsh's daughter! "Yeah yeah that wood looks okay we could still use that for something"...
😜🥰

My dad was the king of repurposing recycling and making things out of scraps! He may be gone but I still have his workhorses and other things in my garage that he left there from working on my house years ago. And yes, I intend to go grab some of that wood and use it in my yard!

I just love the fact that my father still lives on in me in so many ways. And as much as I have teared up today missing him I can hug myself and talk to him on the other side and remember that he taught me so much...
