While I was exploring the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, and visiting the Evil Queen with her nemisis, Snow White at the enchanted forest, the guys were wrangling 8 dogs while ripping out the Guncles’ back fence wall and rebuilding it.
We have a tradition of staying with our bros during part of our camping adventures in Florida and helping with a project.
One year it was redoing a deck, then another was the other side of the fence.
I might have been a little more helpful with those than I was this time. I skeedaddled my way to Orlando to meet up with two grand fairies and my boy for some Disney fun. It was MLK weekend, so the kiddos had an extra day off.
Sugarwings flew in (Barely. With the country wide weather problems, this was an iffy enterprise and some flight shuffling was required). Dewdrop rode down from NC with her daddy. They were delayed due to weather, but made it eventually.
The guys were nice about letting me off the hook for the big job, but I did come straight back from Epcot to help with finishing touches while the kids had some time together with their dad to go meandering in Daytona Beach.
I was happy to give the kids time together while I arranged flower pots and garden furniture. Look at how we are fed while working in the yard! Never ending fresh seafood prepared by first class cooks - those Guncles both are experts in the kitchen.
The only trouble is that we have completed most of the rebuild at this point. Only one more side of the fence to go. If we want to be invited back to the paradise of Guncleness seafood dinners, my husband is going to have to learn a few new building skills beyond patios and fences!
Heck for the special treatment they show us, maybe I’ll learn how to build something.
