Harry! Hello?!?

We spent a week visiting Brandon's grandparents, Harry & Lillian, in Victor, MT. We adore them and had a great visit.

Grandpa is forever ignoring Grandma when it comes to health related topics, such as taking his necessary pills, putting on sunscreen, drinking water and no coffee, etc. When she is exasperated with getting his attention, she says, 'Harry! (Pause) HELLO?!?'.

This has become standard communication around the Kern household the last few years as I recognize a similar listening trend between us (although it can be any topic that Brandon doesn't wish to hear about).

B discovering that the step he planned to replace the rockwork on was rotten...
the job just got much bigger.

After the step was re-framed, B cut the pieces and began to lay them out.

Of course, we forgot to take a pic of the finished product...

The storm came in just after Gpa had finished baling the hay.
