Trip to Virgin

 

Mom was starting to slow down, and not feel her best so we made an extra effort to all be there to celebrate her birthday.  She turned 87 this year and was still just as beautiful as ever.

Mom spends much of her time crocheting hats for humanitarianism.  But the joy has mostly left her eyes now.  She truly misses Grandpa.  He has been gone now for a year and a half. 

Another Work Trip

 

Reality is starting to set in.  Dad was no help at all, and although I kept getting up and trying, neither was I.  The three boys made a great dent in the siding.

I spent much more time sitting than I wish I had had to, but Dean eventually found the perfect place to help and was able to run most of the wire that was still left to run.  He had it ready so Michael could quickly hook it up, and twist the wires inside the box to look like a piece of art.  Taylor kept things organized so he never made a cut on a piece of siding that would waste more than absolutely necessary.  All in all, a very good few days work.

 

Trip to Church, LOL

 

You've got to really love your van to drive it to church when you have other vehicles.
