Easter in Pa – 2012

Home for Easter

I was back again in PA for Easter and I got to experience the lush environment during the spring bloom. During the weeks’ time at home, I started lots of activities and projects, but left them unfinished so my parents had something to keep them occupied with.

I got to go bass fishing at the Graham family pond. I hooked into some very large bass, but the only pictures of fish ended up being the tiniest ones. Easter was blast. I got to lots and lots of food and participate in the Easter egg race. There was some stiff completion, and my metal egg came pretty close to dead last.

During the week, I worked from the house but still got out to have some fun every now and then. Sophie didn’t enjoy me being home at first as I gave her a pretty good hair cut. Tyler and I had lunch at the new Boulevard and went to the grand opening of the Crabtree Fruit Market. One day later both us would be deathly sick, puking solid for a day straight.

The first task I did was to frame in the hunting (sars) room in the basement. Being able to actually construct something was very satisfying. Also much to my chagrin, I got to do more manual labor by fixing the rust on the Jeep. This involved grinding, drilling, chiseling, welding, painting, scraping and hammering. In the end, I only got the doors and the driver side rocker panel done.

But it ended up looking good with a 2 toned truck-bed liner paint job – and the new doors and rocker panel paint won’t be rusting out anytime soon. (I left the passenger side rocker panel undone to keep my dad occupied).

Lastly, I was able to deliver Nick his long stand present. He was ecstatic.

  1. It is always an adventure when you return to PA.
    Thanks for coming home and making sure that your dad & I are “occupied” for the next several weeks/ months. Maybe sometime we can return the favor by visiting Colorado.
