Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Father's Day

Ever since the GattiTown in Greenville closed down several years ago, the kids (and Eric) have missed it. Their pizza buffet was part of our Sunday routine with the same friends for 8 years.




So this Father's Day, it was no coincidence that Eric decided to choose his meal at their closest partner, GattiLand in Spartanburg.  The extra hour drive to get there would be built into the outing.









Our friends agreed to join us, and it was a commemorative occasion.  The dads both got in for free, and the kids made up for the savings by spending the extra cash on games & trinkets.

















After the pizza, Eric asked the family  to help him with his newest home project.  This one needs a new door jam, new flooring, lots of holes patched, wallpaper removed, new paint throughout, and new landscaping.  It's a big project, but he plans to have it ready for show in about 3-4 weeks.























Our oldest was the best hired hand who actually worked diligently.  The two younger ones just kept each other occupied until they convinced Mommy to take them home.
