Married 39 years. We remodeled two old homes by ourselves in decades past. Sonia is an excellent painter and will help with whatever, whenever I ask, but nowadays she mostly helps me with with the heavy lifting and when I need a second set of hands, if she isn't on the golf course or the Houston Rockets aren't on TV. Yes, I am a golf widower.

She has expressed some interest in turning, so maybe there will be a lathe in the new shop. She is more of a doer than a studier and since I don't know anything about turning, maybe we'll take a class together...
