Signed myself and Patrick up for a three day timberframe course for beginners. We constructed the frame for a 10×12 building using classic timberframe joints and techniques. While it was tedious, it was also fascinating. My good friend Deacon Paul D’Antonio also attended as a present from his wife Laurie.
Had everyone home for a family dinner today. Patrick has moved back from Texas in preparation for his Continental Divide Trail hike and Emily came home to celebrate her one year sober anniversary, which we are very proud of. She brought a “friend” with her, Randy.
We took a rare winter vacation to visit our dear friends Cathy and Paul Caubo at their new condo in Naples, Florida. What a beautiful place, tons of amenities, walking paths, private beaches, beach front restaurants, etc. Perfect weather and perfect company. They took us out one day on their new boat and perused the local weekend farmers market which was quite nice.
We took an extra day and traveled to northern Florida to visit with Patty’s brother and sister-in-law Bob and Anne in their new home.
