His woodwork is beautiful!<BR/><BR/>My Mom will be 87 this year and is very active and independent too.

We have a widow-woman who lives a few doors down who roller skated the entire 5-mile route of the last 4th of July parade. That group truly deserves the title "The Greatest Generation".<BR/>Your post also made me laugh recalling that Red Green Show and his line "....let the women find you handy".<BR/>Your family cruise sounds lovely!
