  • Christmas 2016 – Taylors and Powells

    Travis came to visit early in December and helped to decorate the Christmas tree and again just after Christmas so he could move about three truckloads of presents that Grandma had wrapped for him. On Dec 11 I represented the Powells at Bruce and Elaine’s as Anna was working and Mary-Jo had the beginnings of […]

  • Travis visits 2016

    We get to see Travis once every four to six weeks because that’s how long it usually takes us to recover. He’s a rolling dynamo, never stops! When he’s here, he usually goes out with Clare and Grandpa for dog walks, and he has a bike and helmet here so if the weather is good, […]
