This is how Deb, our youngest daughter, her husband, Roy, and Cerwin spent many days of the last few weeks

~~~

None of these photos are mine – most are from Deb and Cerwin’s cell phones. Some may have come from Roy’s cell phone. They may not be in perfect order, but it will give you an idea of how they prepared a new home for Barb.

Roy did most of the excavation work, but as this photo shows, Deb did some work too.

This is when Cerwin began helping Roy with the deck and ramp.

Roy and Deb’s friend Rick helped a few days as well.

Deb began preparing the inside, just before flying to Florida to bring her mother-in-law to Pennsylvania. Barb was originally from Pennsylvania – so this is “home” to her.

Barb (Roy’s mother) had fallen earlier in the year and after rehab in a senior facility. Roy, his sister, Mary, and Barb determined that she would need a bit more help in the future. Barb wanted to remain independent and did not want to live in a senior nursing home community, so Roy and Deb looked into the possibility of moving a travel trailer onto their property. That way she could be independent but close enough to Roy and Deb for daily assistance.

Trying out her new ramp. It is not totally finished but is ready for use while Roy completes the finishing touches. The landscaping will be finished next spring.

It will be fun to have her join us at our family gatherings.
