So beautiful Tom. Thank you for sharing this.

Just lovely.

I can’t believe my luck, but it looks as if I may be able to attend the event tomorrow! I’ll be it town visiting my dear auntie.

Wishing you the best.

I can't believe my luck that you can come! There seems to be quite a lot of buzz, and there are no tickets, so you might want to get there a little early.

Gorgeous Tom. In the dismantling, repairing, renewing--crossing generations--you and the house merge as one heart. Grateful to you.

And I'm grateful to you for your always attentive eyes and ears. The house and the forest and my people.

Beautiful, Tom. This house, guardian of the past, sentinel for a rich unknowable (yet) future, lovingly fostered by young and older hands. Keep talking to it!

Thank you, Quinton! The house and I will have many conversations in the future, and many hands will contribute to its future.

So fitting, Tom, this generational and heartfelt conversation. May these sorts of grateful musings guide you in the good journey and struggle. As always it’s relatable for me. Thanks.

Thank you, Deanna! And thank you for sharing your grandsons in the endeavor. They are treasures.

This, my friend, is one of your best. Thank you. Oh, you are a good grandpa. Did you know I have a great grandson?

Thank you, Judy. Congratulations on your great-grand! I may have seen a picture, but lately I've had an uneasy relationship with FB and don't spend much time there.

Love this ode, this reconciliation, this repair of roof and hearts, this resolution of the fixable and not yours to fix. thank you for sharing as always…

Thank you, all ways, for stopping in, Claudia. Ahhhhh, not ours to fix. There's the challenge of a lifetime!
