Day 8

I am thankful for Josh's job.  He gets up every morning at 4am to ride his bike 4 miles to the ferry and be to work by 6.  He doesn't complain about how early it is or that he rides in the wind and rain and snow and cold.  They have reduced most people's hours at work down to 4 days as of this last week.  This is the 3rd or 4th time they've done that in the past 5 years Josh has been working there.  He has made it through lay offs and slow periods and when so many people are without work I am thankful that he has it.

He is so talented and meticulous I wish he would do more side jobs, not because I want him working more.. We want him home!! but because he really does make beautiful work.  With the reduced hours he has at least one day a week to do something independent and right now he's doing a large project for my parents so it will be nice for him to have a chance to do that during the week instead of Saturdays.  Here is a bad picture of a beautiful table he built for his mom last year.
