"Do What You Do" (Day 20) and "Essence of Summer" (Day 21)

Combined, because I am late, because I was enjoying some of what I feel is the best of summer- time...staining my deck, stringing lights around it, and building a new bench for it. I took a plan that I found on Pinterest and tweaked it with a little help from my father. Doing what I like to do- creating. I hit a few bumps but I only get better at this stuff when I hit bumps.  I am actually now pondering if I could make and sell 3-4 foot benches (mine was 9!) and donate profits to our LLS Light the Night Walk team, with the idea being, "Bench Cancer..."; each one would be unique, slightly primitive being as I am no pro, and useful indoors or out.  I would get to do something that keeps me busy in a positive way, something that allows me to be creative, and something that allows me to learn.  I could even do a UHS Hawks limited edition and donate it to the booster club online auction...hmmmm.
