Time at the Lake
Abi and I are on our way to Pennsylvania for a wedding this weekend. Before we enjoy those festivities, we decided to connect with my grandparents and work with them at the lake.
My grandparents are starting to slow down a bit and can use some extra hands with maintenance. When we heard that the dock needed a fresh coat of stain, we volunteered to come and help.
After 7 years of grandkids and LOTS of company at the house, the dock needed some tlc.
Abi being a detail person with steady hands, happily did the edge work as Pappy and I moved furniture and prepped all the paint.
Since I am taller than the average bear, the trim work along the roof was my duty. Thankfully, the bees decided it was a good day to leave me alone though they did visit a time or two.
3 days and 2 thunderstorms later, we finished the dock and floater. Storms kept threatening our plans but they are no match for prayer.
Pappy is happy and Abi and I have a nice tan to go along with a job well done.
Family reunions are lovely
After painting the dock did you go for a swim @lydon.sipe?
We did not. After painting, we attended various social gatherings with our grandparents. They love introducing us to people. :)
It is lovely the lake and the renovated pier has given a magical touch. Congratulations friend @ lydon.sipe

Truly! The partly cloudy day was perfect for pictures.
you two are so blessed with family - a lovely way to show love to your grandparents :)
We truly are... It was incredible to hear the hearts and prayers of my grandparents as we spent time with them. It is a special heritage.
You and Abi are wonderful grandkids (adults)....:) I love how you love your grandparents. Must have been fun visiting and working with them.
Bonus tans for the wedding??? All things work together for the good of those....yup.
They have sacrificed and shared mightily for our family for decades, it is an enjoyable to serve them in this way.
Nice job, the dock looks great now!
