My SIL called and said, "Are you going to be home? We've got a surprise to bring over!!""" Me: "What's the surprise?" SIL: We can't tell you or it won't be a surprise....." ME: "Come on, tell me what the surprise is!!!" SIL: "We'll be right over!!!"
Well, the pictures don't tell the whole story! This awesome picnic table handmade by Uncle Skip was constructed from the Tolt High School (now middle school) gym, bleacher boards, that the school was tossing out during the recent remodel! WOW! Just think, my butt warmed those benches starting about 50 years ago, Pat's butt warmed those benches, my seven children's butts all sat there and even my grandson Eli attended school there and warmed those hallowed boards!! Older than dirt........
Look close........see anything????
I'm sure this closeup says TOM......now let's see who could that be????? Tom Lawson, Tom Thompson, Tom Bennett, Tom Wilson, or??????, I'll just say I'm sure it was carved in there by TOM GRADY!!!!!

What a nice brother and sister in law you have. I'm sure they knew that you, of all people, would appreciate something like that - that had been "warmed" by so many buns over the years :).
