Travel Brings New Profession

The week with Grandma Helen in Mount Prospect was not all work. even though when we arrived in northern Illinois, Andy trimmed all her trees and removed the overhanging branches from the roof. In addition, he cleaned out the gutters, repaired a lock on her door, took out some of the broken tiles in her basement and finished a few other odd jobs. Mom and I helped by bundling up four-foot armloads of cuttings and tying them with old twine. Days later Andy sat out front when he heard the garbage men in the neighborhood to be sure everything was collected.
