re: #183 Decatur Deb

We are “those” parents. I’ve driven across the state to Daughter2’s place with a 30 gallon air compressor. Last trip I travelled light and had to buy an emergency chainsaw.

Honestly it has been exactly what I have needed help with. I’m the handy one here at casa klys but I freely admit that there are still lots of things I need to learn how to do. A lot of stuff has been put off. (See: our backyard.)

Now it feels like I have accomplished something this week, there’s still been some downtime (we went to a hockey game last night, for example), and a bunch of stuff has been cleared off my to do list.

I’m going to miss my folks a bunch when they leave tomorrow. (Apparently it’s a family thing. My dad’s parents wallpapered the downstairs bathroom in my parents’ house on one of their early visits.)
