Each Tuesday morning we have a group of retired gentlemen that volunteer by providing maintenance for the Village and any thing else I can add to their ‘To Do’ list! Glenn, one of the guys, commented to his daughter, Carolyn, that they probably wouldn’t be invited to the shower; she replied that they perhaps didn’t want to sit through hours of opening gifts of frilly dresses and pink tutus and instead offered to host a wine and hors’ devours reception with Joelle, a friend of hers who’s husband is apart of the Gang. They escorted their wives, a couple of the wives we had never met before, and it was nice to interact with them while in their unit. Violet’s grandparents were even invited and Todd’s mom was still in town so she was able to meet everyone. There were offers of babysitting and a few of the guys even said they change diapers! This is a group of hearty men, gruff in their love and always up for giving me grief with a twinkle in their eye; so after they said they’d miss me, I said they won’t get rid of me that easy. I explained my future Tuesday plans of Violet and I stopping in for their donut and coffee break and we two girls will continue to bring jokes and give them grief with a twinkle and a laugh. I just love these guys, what a great group of grandpa’s!
