Oh the Stories this Bench Could Tell. Now Rejuvenated with a New Look. Come See!

This bench has seen better days having resided in front of our home for many years.

Oh, the stories it could tell. For a time in our life it was dubbed “bench time.” A time during which John and I devoted our love and energy in helping someone who was going through a transition.

There were many heart-to-heart talks over cups of coffee in the morning. Many early evenings a time for an adult beverage to talk about the days events and hopes for the future.

That relationship John and I had come to treasure would ultimately break down and left us both with broken hearts we thought would never mend.

And though there is a scar in place that will always be there, we’ve moved on. And we have returned to time on the bench, just John and I, stronger than before and often reflecting on how blessed we feel for the life we live.

With my new addiction to chalk painting, the bench is my biggest project so far. I’m so pleased with how it turned out!

A fresh new look that has me now smiling every time I look at it.
