Day#5

Gary helped me recover the benches. No more dirt and magic marker! He was a big help, but doing this job sure made me miss my grandma. She's the one I did it with last time, a long time ago; I think it was about 1997. She was really good with fabric and knowing how to do things. One time I brought her a big fancy but ratty lampshade I liked and expected her to make it beautiful. We tore off the old material and she constructed a new one to fit the curvy metal which was pretty complicated. Not sure I grasped at that time just what I had asked of her but that was the thing, all I had to do was ask and she'd do anything for me.
