Sometimes You Have To Go Backwards

With all the rain we have had this winter and spring it’s been hard to make trips to Waco with an open truck. My dear sweet husband took my truck and had a top cover but on the bed. It’s been great as long as my pieces will lay down under the cover. It folds back for large piece but then there is the rain so those piece have to wait.

If you are looking for a perfect piece that you don’t have to do...
