PawPaw

PawPaw spent two and a half weeks here, and it's been wonderful to have him. House feels lighter and emptier now that he's gone back to Tennessee today. It has been very satisfying to see the kids rush to his room, climb to sit on either side of him on the couch, share just about every thought with him (Maya).

It has been a nice break for him, too, from Michael & Tim at his house... we made sure that the only things he did here were what he really enjoys - get enough coffee; look at enough old houses (including a mansion); visit the bookstores; write and take naps; hang out with Allan and the kids outside when it was warm. There were also submarines and underground tunnel tours involved... all the local eccentricities, of course. And the Three Stooges movie.

It took all of $10 to book his trip here - the endless back-and-forth on Delta is finally paying off :). Appears we've got another one of these in our back pockets, so hopefully we can get him out here again, soon enough.
