This morning, I was drinking my morning cup of coffee, at ET City Park. My phone rang, it was my son Chad. He was getting ready to head back home, in Greenville.
He asked he what I was doing. Of course, I told him drinking coffee at City Park. Chad said, I'll meet you there in a little while, for coffee. Chad stopped for coffee, then parked his truck next to my jeep.
We sat on a picnic table and Chad shared some recent photos of his construction jobs. He has hired one man to help him, which makes me feel better.
Chad was trying to complete all the work, without any help. Because of this, he ended up with carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. This has healed up nicely:)
Anyway, we visited for about an hour and my son decided he needed to get on the road. We hugged and shared some kind words, then I waved goodbye. Of course I warned him, to be careful driving and stay safe!

It was so nice of Chad to drop by and spend some quality time with you. Coffee tastes much better with a good company. Good that he has hired someone to help him.
That's a very nice picture. They all are having so much fun and it's very clear.

Chad has one full sister, Mari Lyn and two 1/2 sisters, from his Dad's second marriage. They adore Chad!

@jstory07 All work, no play, makes a person feel overdone. Almost like a machine!

@kobesbuddy I understand he wanted to save money, but health is also important.

To save more money, Chad chose to work all alone. This cost him dearly in the long run, with carpal tunnel followed by surgery to repair his hands:( Now, he has help and does 1/2 the work he did before!

When Chad got ready to leave, we shared a big hug. He said there's something else going on in Tawas, next month. Chad will be visiting again:)

Chad was sharing photos with me, displaying some construction jobs he has done. He is very ambitious, I'm proud of this fact!

That's great that Chad was able to meet up with you for coffee. I always tell people to drive safely too.
