Laying Bricks with Dad

August 27, 2016

Brandon restored the driveway planter box this afternoon, and Owen wanted to help. Owen helped hold the level to make sure Dad's work was up to par (it always is!).
I asked Brandon how he knew how to cut and lay bricks, and where he got all the tools, and he said it was from working with his late Uncle Kenny. Brandon laid the bricks in the front patio of Grandma Eloise's house with Uncle Kenny when he was 5 years old. It was fitting that Brandon drove Uncle Kenny's old masonry truck to pick up our bricks from Lowes.
I asked Brandon, "you remembered how to lay bricks after all those years?" "Of course!" he said. "Wouldn't you?"
