My Life As Art {backyard swingset}
When David and I were dating, I was renting a home. It was the first place I lived by myself with the boys after my first husband and I were divorced. I had put a swing set on layaway for the boys before I moved into this house. Money was tight, but I really wanted the boys to have a swing set. I wanted something normal for them. When David found out that I had this on layaway, he gave me a very special housewarming gift. He gave me a card that said it was good for as many lawn mowings as I needed….and the receipt for the swing set. He had gone and paid the whole thing off. He went and got it later and put it together for us. When we got married a short time later and moved into our home, his first project was to build the boys a swing set. It is old now. The swings are all gone. The fort part is falling apart, but it is special. This is their old swing set.
