in Lancaster: Addendum

Well, Jeannette was in Lancaster to relax. I was there to work. Ellis went off with Nick so that I could hang shelves unencumbered. Of course, I wasn't finished before E returned, so he ended up helping me with the last stages of the work. He actually was quite good with the drill. I held it and he pulled the trigger. He got the low screws and I got the high ones.

At some point, though, E wandered off from the work area, to return some moments later with a newspaper. I looked down into his beaming face and took the paper to see what he was so excited about. He reached up, and jammed his finger into the picture of the fireworks that accompanied the front page story about last night's festivities. With wide eyes and an ear-to-ear smile, he nodded and signed \.

Man, my heart just about blowed up.
