So, Father’s Day weekend we had planned for Mark’s parents to come up so that Papa could help finish up the deck.  That was the plan.

That’s not what happened.  Mark, who was not on call.  Got a call from work (which never happens) and had to go to work on Saturday.  I was committed to volunteer at a home school used book sale so that left his parents to watch the kids.

Fortunately, Mark only had to work in the morning and was able to get home and get to the wood store and back home to get up some railing before it started pouring rain!

Before the rain, the men were checking the radar on their “smart” phones.

And Sunday dawned beautiful and bright (and hot) and everyone actually looked at the camera for pictures!
