The Stake Out

(better known as the Notice of Commencement)

And so it begins. . . the behind-the-scenes tales and grins of enthusiam. Royce (that's Papa to granddaughter Taylor) stakes out the exact perfect location for our family treehouse. . . .

. . . with not one but (count them folks) three measuring tapes. Actually there were four, Mom (that's what everyone calls me, yep including Taylor) is holding one and taking his picture. Can you say "Multitasking?" Ya gotta love a man with a plan! He's enthusiastic about building this family treehouse... no he really is. His face just doesn't show it in this picture.
