What Does Grandpa Do All Day?

You may have wondered while Grandma Sue is busy curing diarrhea, headaches, and vomiting--What does Grandpa Steve do . . .? Well, he can be found inside of; hanging from; connecting to; figuring out; ordering online; sorting things; and cleaning out and arranging. He is a busy Missionary.

Ordering online! All of the supplies for the bookstore. The previous person did not get the oder in correctly for Book of Mormons. We ran out! Can you imagine a mission without Book of Mormons! He has an order for 800 coming, and it arrived today. His entire order was 95 boxes of supplies. Now, where do we put them?

Hanging curtains! Most of the missionaries apartments did not have curtains--just bare windows, so - - -curtains were bought and here he is in action. And here is a picture of some of Elders so thrilled with their new curtains.

Fixing and Repairing! The mission car's trunk would not stay closed, so Grandpa to the rescue. I keep him busy with all of my "honey do" chores in our apartment: Repairing light switches; fixing the water heater so it doesn't make that annoying rattle sound each time it comes on. (it's a tankless water heater and is quite interesting); hanging cusrtain rods and curtains; and building bookshelves.

I recently was frantically trying to hook up the computer in our apartment. It just wouldn't fit in the electrical bar. In our front room there is only on electrical outlet, so there has to be an outlet bar that everything plugs into. But to complicate things, there have to be adaptors so the computer can plug in, and there are transformers for other US products. Well, in my haste, I plugged in our CD/alarm clock not using the transformer. I smelled a funny 'electrical" smell. Our CD player was fried. It has died and gone to electrical component heaven. I will no longer do the unplugging and the plugging in. I am leaving that to the electrical fix-it man, Grandpa.
