JoAnne and I took a couple days off to go to Connecticut this past week. It’s a combination of things. For one, we acknowledge that we are pretty taken with our new grandson. He is so loving. He cuddles right up to his Grandpa and Grandma J. Attached are some photos by doting grandparents for Sammy’s nine month mark.
We also go to help Keely and Mark as we can with the practical things of being homeowners. I am the family handyman, I guess. And I am blessed that my son-in-law asks me to mentor him in learning to take care of his home as he is a first time homeowner. This trip we worked with the extension ladder he bought, learning to set up and lower it properly. Hurricane Sandy did no damage to their house, thankfully, but it did reveal a couple serious east wind leaks that needed quick attention. So Mark and I spent Saturday morning on the sunroom roof fixing those. I trust we were successful.
