lifting

I spend a fair amount of time lifting. Kids, weights, glasses of wine.

I took Hank to an activity this morning that engaged very young children with local seniors with developmental disabilities. They danced along with guitar music and batted balloons around with pool noodles and oh my word I wish I could've bottled up the joy floating around in that room.
The boys spend a fair amount of time watching. Cartoons, out the windows, me.

Last week we took a potted arborvitae over to a neighbor who has been nothing but nasty to our family since well before we moved in to our new home.
Sometimes, kindness comes easily. When it doesn't? That's when it might be the very best response.

The boys are watching. And we have more lifting to do.

  3. Shoot, Dad. All four girls had already chipped in on balloons and noodles for you for Father's Day. We'll think of something else...
    Let us know when you're coming up. Andy needs help getting his Big Green Egg onto his new deck.

  4. You guys may have wished to place said deck closer to your back door...the present location is not very convenient (!) Maybe intelligent utilization would be to just pile garbage bags there until "trash" day...thus keeping unpleasant odors far away from your home (?)

  5. Hey,
    Sandy just pointed out...my garbage bag idea could potentially create a hazardous "bug" habitat. Sorry.
