Non-stop There are four people that live in my house, including myself, that are constantly on the move. My dad though is like the energizer bunny, non-stop from the time he gets up for work till the time he goes to bed. At work he does physical labor, anything from digging ditches to operating back hoes, he does it. When he gets off work at 3:30 p.m. you would think that he would want to sit down and rest; no not in his case. He will find anything to do just to keep busy: mow the lawn, wash down the house, or just mess with things to see what is wrong.

I guess that I do have an appreciation for my dad being the way he is; even though it drives me crazy. If he did not have the will and the drive to have things the way he planned, I would not have the nice things I have today.
That weekend the concrete was poured, and the hot tub was delivered. As usual he sat outside and inspected everything head to toe. Happy everything went the way he plane he actually came inside to sit down and relax.
As he sat outside and stared like a hawk again he noticed something he did not
