Sunlit Sunday. Let the sun shine

Sure glad this meme is here today.

No sunshine in my neck of the woods.

Rained all night and dreary day.

Another thing I like about Sunlit Sunday meme it keeps me on the look out for sunny shots all during the week.

So thanks to Karen of My Little Home and Garden for this fun blog party.

 My dining room chair.

 I love joining blog parties for several reasons.

Sometime the themes overlap and some good shots emerge when looking around.

Textures, one of my favorite things to aim for. Just add the sunshine and wala Sunlit Sunday.

 Another view of the dining room chairs.

Go here to share more sunshine.

By the time I can remember this business it was Pettus Lumber Company, selling lumbar and building supplies only.
The person submitting this photo was a boy I grew up with in our small town.
He never went into the family business started by his grandfather but after college became the owner of an insurance and reality company in our town along with his best friend.
He married the sister of his partner and the two families still own this company in my home town.
