Coming home

Daddy is home now and resting.  I think he's starting to get "itchy," he wasn't a person to sit too long.  Pretty soon he was doing yardwork.  Samuel and David would help with the mowing while daddy did the edging.  Carlos and Maria would be coming on the weekends to do the heavy yardwork.  Daddy since I can remember always kept his yard nice, trimmed and GREEN with plenty of seasonal flowers.  He was proud of how he would get the perrenials at OSH and when they died return them and get more free ones to re-plant.  He had his system set. 

The picture is actually in September, my camera calendar was wrong date.
Momma asked Maria and Carlos to put the patio table and chairs in the front so visitors (neighbors, us and others) could sit in front with him and talk.  Daddy knew all the neighbors and loved to see everything going on.  He like to go to the mall with momma just to people watch.  Except one time when he bought new tennis shoes, set them down at the snack area where someone grabbed the bag and ran, but he went back to the shoe store told them what happen and ended up with another new pair of shoes.  He loved to tell that story.
