But, there was other time when he got to go fishing with his brother and Dad and playing pinochle and cribbage with Mom and Dad and sister, Linda. Golfing with Dad. Time with cousin Tony, and cousins and Aunt Mary Ellen and Uncle Jean. Fun family time at Easter - nice dinner and fun and games afterwards outside in the beautiful sunny day, and inside playing push. We had lots of good meals. And lots of visiting. So nice. Thanks for the visit, Brian. You made us very happy!<br />Lonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002602325579294568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-78268106747867495712014-04-23T19:15:22.416+02:002014-04-23T19:15:22.416+02:00I just love it : the chair AND getting to build wi...I just love it : the chair AND getting to build with Dad as well as fitting in fishing and golfing!

This one went so well, I think, due to the uniqueness of the project and the fact that we both brought our respective hobbies together.

As a few others already commented, I think that the Roorkee-Chair project was a great way to spend some good time with each other. Considering the visits with folks are few and far between I am sure that your Mom and Dad really appreciated your Easter visit.
