Chore Boy

My dad is finally able to get out and enjoy the good weather. His cataract surgery left his eye inflamed for a couple of weeks but finally it is better and he can get out and do a little work. He told me tonight he forgets how old he is (93) when he is out raking. He raked for about 3 hours on Saturday - finished around dark. Tonight he raked for a couple more hours.

I told him though that he is "on vacation" while living here, for the first time in his life. He can sleep as late as he wants and only has to work if he wants to. He has peeled lots of veggies for me which is a great help when I'm cooking. The pic I took tonight of him and Coco enjoying the warm breeze on the front porch really looks like he is on vacation. He's happy here and we are happy to have him with us.
