The lovely Mrs. W. and I just got back from what will have to pass as our summer vacation. I was able to get three days off last week and we took the dodge ram and the travel trailer and drove down to the Pensacola area where my son and his family have moved.
Their goal is to be debt free so they have bought a fixer upper house for cash in a subdivision out in the boonies which has a lot of vacant lots and a lot of wilderness around them. looks like a place where you might see just about any critter found in FLA except perhaps a gator since there is not much water really close to the house. We had three days there mostly.
I helped by getting the front and back doors both to latch and lock. The rear door required rehanging the frame twice to get it to work. I also installed a door on the bathroom.
I really hated the big picture there as there is a ton of road work going on for future development. Getting anywhere is a real pain in the hiney. It took a half hour to get to either a hardware or home depot.
My son has never professed any interest in doing things with his hands but it turns out he must have been watching more than I thought as he has been doing some fairly good stuff with the house.
It has a long way to go though.
I also had some real fun with my three grandsons, twin 4 year olds and a five year old. Very cute, and bright little fellows.
Last night in northern AL we spent about an hour in the campground pool after dark. There weren't many folks there and the water was perfect. All we needed was a drink to sip on while wathing the sun set and the full moon rise almost simultaniously.
Good stuff.
