Staying with Connie and Tom...

We've been with Connie (Wen's sister) and Tom for a couple of weeks now.  We stopped for a short visit but Wendy ended up needing to get a root canal.  It's a 2+ week process and we're so thankful for being able to stay with them. 

Tom's quite a cook and we've enjoyed a couple of backyard cookouts on weekends.

Tom's discussing the finer points of his culinary expertise with his son John, and Claire.

Hannah and Charles are proof the food was fantastic.  And Charles is a chef :)

Just so you know it's not all fun and games, here's a project that was a bit of a challenge as I couldn't find much help on YouTube :) A broken door hinge....successfully replaced!

We also managed a cookout at Phillip and Kay's home.

All of these cookouts are beginning to take a toll on my belt!
