We don't always give credit where credit is due. A few times a year my wife goes on trips with her friends. She is currently in the Okanagan. That means it is up to me to make sure things go well at home.
It is at these times when she is away that I am reminded of how much she does for our family. When I have to take over and do all the house, acreage and animal chores; it is a lot of work. Put on top of that taking my kid to his job and then getting to mine and ensuring I am getting all my requirements in.
Add on top of that cleaning up from the storm we had last week. We always have a few trees come down and I have to clean that up and usually fix some fences.
I have spent much of my career in positions where I have had to travel.. There have been times when I was gone for long stretches. It is when it is switched around and I am at home that I truly understand the amount of work it takes to keep our place looking as good as it does.
I will definitely have to say a special "Thank You" when she gets home.
