Michael visits!

(Robin, her brother Michael and sister Sharon)

Robin's brother Michael came from England to help out for a week and a half! He cooks, cleans, rake leaves, cuts grass, and hands out English chocolate (yum)! Michael even helped with stalled house projects by painting the stairwell and upstairs hallway! During his visit was the first time it dawned on me that Robin, both her brother's (Michael and Bill) and her sister (Sharon) all seem to have boundless energy when it comes to getting projects done!

During Michael's stay we had several visitors - including Robin's niece Alison and her cute new son Dillon! Sharon and Ed also stopped by one night for an evening of pizza and playing cards (progressive rummy!). Robin (the ever competitive card player) said she would just watch the card game, but by the end she couldn't help looking over Sharon's shoulder and playing along. I thought Sharon and Robin would be unstoppable, but while I worried about them Michael won the game!
