A couple of weeks ago Tom, Brian, and Theresa arrived from Spokane and Portland to help build a new deck/stairway with a railing and wide steps that would help Gordon navigate from the house to the deck and points beyond.

The video is at least as great as the deck! Thanks for the fun week.
Anne and Gordon, Nice to see you “decked out” so fine! May you enjoy it for many moons to come. The music in the video is a hoot.
