Before and...

Yes, it turned out to be a full-on day just as I had expected. 

I got a lot done in the garden, and Junior was here to help after lunch. I took him out for lunch before he started - just the church cafe - to make him feel appreciated (in advance). 

The weather cooperated to ensure a productive and satisfying day.

He arrived bearing gifts, which was ideal. They got Blipped. The Extra is the "After".
