I don't know what to say about the saw. I don't think it's a good idea for
Dad to use the saw by himself. Could you allow time to help him. I don't
think he has that much wood. Also, I think he could give it to them as is
and let the woodworking instructor cut it to suit himself. The old man who
has been teaching woodworking is retiring and I don't know it they are
hiring another. His class was Henry's favorite. I'll ask Chris about
whether or not they intend to fill the position.
As for the trip to Ohio, both you and Peter offered. The last time I
spoke to Michele she offered too. I had not thought of asking her as I know
that her job is so pressured. Her response was;, "I can take time off too."
Her willingness changes things as Dad could fly to Detroit and she would
have a car. Dad is going to accept her offer. It makes sense. Also, I
will not go. Michele can certainly look after Dad and it can be a Dad and
daughter trip. We have our hands full with tuitions and saving for Florida.
We won't do much more to the house but we should clean up the basement which
means some plastering.
Take the stuff on a schedule that suits you.
Peter looks happier and more relaxed than we have seen him for some
time.
Love,
Mom
