After another day of nonstop banging, we have made great progress The roofers are still working on our garage, but our home is now sporting a crisp new roof. While it looks nice, I am more excited about staying dry during rainstorms. I can't remember the last time I was able to watch the weather without anxiety. It will be nice to relax and trust the new roof to do its job properly.
Today our garage should be finished and our new gutters will be installed. It will be more banging but, unlike yesterday, we won't be home all day to hear it. This afternoon we are packing our bags and heading to Pennsylvania. Tonight we will stay at my Mom's house. Tomorrow morning we will kiss Timmy and Friend goodbye before heading to the World War II weekend.
Robby is ecstatic about his favorite weekend of the year. He circles the first weekend in June every time we hang a new calendar in January. He has been busy planning our itinerary for the weekend and evaluating his collections to identify gaps. Timmy and Robby share many traits, but the love of military history is not one of them.
We have tried to take Timmy in the past and he was vocal about hating every moment. In Timmy's eyes, "Planes and tanks are boring." This year he begged to stay home. With my mom's agreement, he will stay with her while we are transported back to the 1940s. Timmy is delighted to have some special time with his cousins and Nana while Robby is content to enjoy his favorite weekend of the year without his complaining little sidekick.
In a rare situation, it appears that I have made both boys happy!
