Joe vs. The Barn

Neglected....That's how Joe was feeling when I forgot to put what he was doing while I was on vacation.

No, really. I did forget to mention what Joe was doing while Sharen and I were hangin' with Mickey and friends.

He spent the better part of a week and a half in Indiana tearing down and restoring part of an old barn on his Mom's property.

When we were there last year the roof and a good portion of the barn had caved in so Joe, our friend Mark Wilkin and Joe's brothers dug in, knocked down and rebuilt it over the course of about 5 days.

The rest of the time Joe and Mark did a little fishing, spent some quality time with Joe's mom and brothers and drove from here to there.

Oh, they took a little side trip to Cabellas in Nebraska. That's like Michaels craft store for hunters, fishermen, etc.

I'm proud of you Honey. You did a wonderful job and I'm sure your Mom truly appreciates what you did.

P.S. Thank you to Mark Wilkin for going above and beyond the lines of friendship to travel all the way to Indiana, work from early morning until dusk (with very few breaks) in the rain to help Joe and his family. You are a true friend. And, thanks to Robin for letting him go!

Love,

Kharen
