GMW Dances and D masterfully builds a beautiful gate

Hi All,

I've never tried to do a You Tube video before, and I made this one private. Are you able to see it? It's of Grace "dancing" to her music. (Ruthie, when I get some video of her walking I'll post it.)

Since Grace became mobile, David installed a gate at the top of the stairs. But it wasn't until very recently that Grace was able to scale the 14 steep wooden steps with stealth, and a gate at the bottom of the stairs became necessary.

We have a metal post on one side and a wall on the other; the only type of gate that would work without any adjustments is a retractable one and these are muy expensive. A traditional gate would work with some gerry-rigging (is that how you spell it?), but it would hit the bookshelf when it opens. And so, enter David's design for Perfect Protection at Pocusset.

He made this in a 24 hour period, because he wanted it installed before he left for Utah.

Thanks, Honey!

Scenes from Today

Matthew leaving in the wee hours of the morning for the ski trip with his brothers.

Jackson wetting down his hair before combing it, imitating his Daddy.

Everyday scene, including today: Mary Clement sitting in her highchair for sets of ten minutes having eaten nothing; when I begin to unbuckle her, she crams food in her mouth as if I'm rushing her meal.
