Pitching In
My daughter and son-in-law recently welcomed their first child into the world. As my grandbaby is a winter baby, my daughter and son-in-law did not have the time or energy to properly winterize their home. My husband and I felt that the best way to pitch in without being too meddlesome was to offer to finish the winterization process for them.
We set about putting on winter tires on the cars and getting the collegiate grill covers onto the backyard barbecues. We also put up plastic sheeting around drafty windows and put insulation around outside pipes so they won’t freeze and burst during the winter months. My son-in-law and daughter are very appreciative of our efforts and we were happy to give them a few less things to worry about while they enjoy being a brand new family.
