A Difficult Weekend Cleaning Out Memories

This weekend was a difficult one as Mason and I joined the entire Rzepkowski family cleaning out my grandparents house in Dunkirk. Grandpa is not doing well with Alzheimer’s and grandma is going to a St. Columban’s home – an assisted living facility. Please pray for them as they make a very difficult transition. Of the many thoughts swimming through my head this morning are the many Christmases spent at grandma’s and of the many bits of wisdom my grandpa imparted on me – especially when it comes to hunting and fishing. I’ll have much more to blog about in the future, but this morning I’m off to Cabonga Reservoir Canada to fish for a week with those same family members. We’ll probably use a lot of the grandpa-isms while we are there. We all need to clear our minds and share some laughs, and probably some tears. Here’s a couple of pictures of our weekend work:

We filled a large dumpster with stuff and our backs know it.
