Helping Grandfather


Photo-A-Day #3301

Today was a get things done sort of day. I went out and tackled 85% of the garage. I just didn’t have time to tackle the back shelves. Partly because I ran out of time and partly because I was not looking forward to what sort of presents I would find from the field mice that have made their homes in the garage. I did get the bulk of the garage cleaned out including recycling all the boxes that had accumulated there all Winter and we also moved out the two dressers that we got from Allison’s grandparents.

The kids got their new dressers and I got a clean garage. I even switched the windows from Winter to Spring. Let’s hope that Spring is actually here to stay.

My dad came over to give me a hand moving the dressers into the house. He also fixed one of the middle runners on Eva’s dresser drawer. Andrew loves spending time with my dad and he got right in there to “help”. Dad is very patient with Andrew, more patient than I am these days. Andrew’s idea of helping was to pour out all the finish nails so that Grandfather could get to them easier. He did help in other ways like carry in some pliers, he was very proud of that. He does love to help.
