Sorry, no photos

My son's 30th birthday is today, and he has to work today, and he has been working double shifts throughout April.

He had a three hour window on Sunday afternoon when we could get together, so I came over, and he said 'It's my birthday. Are you ready to get to work?'

His old wooden chairs in his dining room were getting rickety, and he pulled my dad's trick of putting screws in to keep them from completely falling apart.

Sunday was spent taking the chairs apart and re-gluing them all properly.

Not what I thought we'd be doing, but it was a great afternoon

But a fine birthday present, nonetheless!

Absolutley. Moments like those are precious and far too few as we all grow older. Glad you had the opportunity and took advantage of it VK. More power to you.

At least you were able to spend some time together, that’s all that matters.
