When my DH was still around, he would grouse about how much fabric I had but still do all the handyman stuff for me. I always had handwork to do in the evening to keep him company while watching TV.
Since he passed away, two of my four sons live five minutes away from me and thanks to their dad's example, are always willing to fix, move, build or help. But I don't have to keep them company watching TV. I am blessed.
