• We Built a Deck!

    I’m using the word “we” very loosely. In actuality, *I* did not build a deck. I *designed* a deck and then I left town while my *husband* built a deck. Could I have built a deck? Yes, of course I could. I am a badass. But did I want to build a deck? No, not really. I wanted a deck built. Funny how two sentences can sound so alike yet mean very different things…
