always your fathers son
So this weekend my parents threw us a baby shower (Alexis Grace is now due 05/13) and it was great. We hadn’t seen the entire family for some time (most all were there) so it was good to have everyone under one roof laughing and having a good time. It ended up the ladies took over the house and the guys were outside playing pool and basketball -good times for all.
The day started off making final preparations: cleaning the pool, setting the pool table up, grilling the hot dogs and hamburgers and doing a some woodworking.
My mom had painted her kitchen 2 weeks before but before that they installed sliding doors to the backyard through the kitchen and because of the alarm door sensor wires had to remove the frame around the door. Because of the painting they didn’t put the frames up so that brings us to this past Saturday.
My dad has so many tools so to finish this project we opted for power and set up his compressor. He’s got a bad back so I did the lifting and after the compressor was full he instructed me to plug the air cable which I promptly did to my father’s surprise. Yeah, surprise - I got one of those “you were able to do it?” which my response was “Dad, I’m 30!” almost 31.
I guess it’s true that you’re always your parent’s child.
