Handy Dandy Doug

We had a busy weekend. Friday night Alex helped mommy spread new soil and plant flowers in the back yard until it got dark. Saturday Alexandra and I attended the Race for the Cure Breast cancer walk. We first met up with everyone from Hartford and got in the group photo. Then before the walk started we met up with my dad (Papaw) and my step mom (Memaw) and the rest of the family, including cousin Ethan, Aunt Tiff, Grandma Pat and Grandpa Bob, Aunt Ashley and Uncle Brandon, Kenny and a few other friends. My step mom is a survivor of breast cancer so we walked for her. During the walk we ran into another couple, Zach and Kari, and continued the walk with her family as well. It was an absolute gorgeous day for the walk. By the time we got home and down for a quick cat nap, Debi arrived from Chicago. We hung out Saturday evening with friends Rick, Kari-Kari, Lance, Richard, and Dena. We got to use the fire pit for the first time. Freebie from Hartford.
Sunday Alex went to church with Papaw so Doug and I put up a storm door we bought a few weeks ago. It turned out to be a 6 hour job because he had to build the frame of the door out because of the side window. By the time I got home from picking up Alex, he had it all cleaned up and done. It looks great. Im so impressed and soo excited to use it when it gets nice out. I need to get pictures posted of the DVD system he installed in his car and the door. Each project was new to him and he did very well installing both. He's turning out to be a great handy man. He did a faboulous job on the back porch last year too. Next project: billet grille for my car. Though this will be a piece of cake for him as he knows how to do it.
