I (Doug) and Clint took a road trip Friday evening after the last Hornet's Soccer game (the Homeschool Hornets are a middle school soccer team on which both Clint and Meredith played this fall) and headed north to Ellwood City where we slept overnight at Pap and Peg's and then went over to "the building" to help Pap and Peg prepare the new office space for Eric Ryan (another business in town). It was a great father and son (and grandparent) experience. We had to tear down an 8-foot section of wall, move it back 1 foot and over 3-4 feet to the other side of the room. Clint was a great help. He did a good bit of cleaning up and generally helping when we needed muscle to move things. Bill Hiker (sp?), one of the happiest men in the world who lives in the apartments above Kimpel's Jewelry store, also helped.
It was great to see the four of us men working together. First, Clint and I would work together, then Clint and Pap would work together while Bill and I did a project. Then Pap and I would get involved and Bill and Clint would team up. Peg shot out part way through the morning to accomplish some other tasks. Probably too much testosterone in the room for any woman! I'd have gotten out also....if I were a girl!
We also moved a small refrigerator down from the 3rd floor so that Peg could return it. It wasn't working correctly. Wasn't getting cold.
We had a lovely lunch from Mary Fray's (sp?) Ellwood Hot Dog Shop -- wow did it take a long time to get our food. Clint had a double cheeseburger -- death by cheeseburger.
It was a great day and a good memory for all involved. I especially like doing these things with Clint because I know it will be cherished memories someday.
