Grampa repaired a shelf in the pantry. The shelf is so strong, I could now start canning, if I had grown anything to can. Then he rearranged the entire pantry. He has too much time on his hands. This took just one trip to Home Depot.
Then Grampa replaced his brake pads. The first tire took five minutes to remove the caliper bolt. The second tire took two hours, which included another trip to Home Depot to replace the wrench he broke. It was not a Craftsman wrench. Grampa Lynch only bought Craftsman; guaranteed for life.
He nearly hit my Lexus, which he parked outside after the trip to Home Depot. He remembered it was there, but hadn't pumped the brakes sufficiently before he started to back up and applied the brakes, they nearly went to the floor. So did his jaw.
What did Grampa sit on or back into, while fixing his car? He went to Home Depot like that.
I saw a Wheaties t-shirt that was an obvious rag, next to the tire he was working on. I told Grampa he needed to take better care of his clothes. He took a look at the shirt and said, "I think I got it for free." I laughed till my eyes leaked, when I realized he was serious.
The latest in baby technology is a wubbanub. The pacifier is attached to a small stuffed animal, so the baby can find it in the crib and put it in his own mouth. I remember Ryan Joseph doing surgery on Andrew's wubbanub, when they deteremined it was time to give it up. Andrew and Gramma looked on in horror.
Nolan is working on his pilot license. He loves the Mickey airplane.
He has no idea it can actually be ridden.
Now that Nolan is on his feet (but not walking) he can see the next level up.
The light on the router catches his eye. Andrew used to be attracted to it, also. They both are intrigued by the light on the dishwasher, too. Andrew used to push Grampa's buttons (on the dishwasher).
Nolan may have a preference for mechanical engineering. He removed the seat from the Mickey plane. It wasn't so easy for him to reattach it, though. When Grampa fixes things, he always has pieces left over, too.
Grampa took this picture. He wanted to be sure Nathan knew Gramma needed his help picking out a pair of shoes that matched her ensemble. This is the closest thing Gramma has to tennis shoes.
Grampa took apart Auntie Becca's hammock. No more swinging in the backyard.
When we moved to the new house, the movers didn't have room for this on the truck. Grampa put it over the top of his little car and brought it himself. Can you imagine driving behind him? It looked like the start of an ark. Way to go, Grampa Noah!
Look what got "squashed" into this pumpkin.
This pumpkin is my size.
Mommy, we'll need this to carry all our pumpkins.
Sun flower power.
The Great Pumpkin is calling me.
An amazing new way to view a maze.
There's a scarecrow on that maze.
Enjoying the pumpkin farm one step at a time.
Thank Heaven, California has fall.
Hayrides!
That's a strange looking pumpkin.
The boys sure are cute in California.
Gramma's Sunflower.
