In praise of grandparents


This week I was able to lure my in-laws away from their own outdoor jobs to help us get a handle on ours. And trust me, we have lots. Nothing like a having huge diggers tear up your backyard and drive away, leaving you to sort out the disaster left behind. So this post is a little tribute to them (grandparents, not diggers). Grandma came and baked zwieback (the most heavenly smell on earth) and sewed some sweet little curtains for our bathroom. Grandpa chopped our wood and stacked in, then gave our unruly hedge a much needed haircut. And it gets better - they took all four kids back home with them - which gave Paul and me two days to ourselves. It was bliss. Thank you, dear grandparents. For all you do.
