Kole today met his only living great-grandparent. Kathy's grandmother (her mother's mother) is 89-year-old Ora Jane Wood. Kole is her 11th great grandchild, and she even has a great-great grandchild. With all that expertise, her reaction of Kole is that he is "beautiful - just beautiful!" Ora lives in the Indian Hills neighborhood of Grand Prairie, and has for eons, on Bennie Lane, probably about 7 doors down from where my grandma and grandpa Landers lived all of my life. Kathy and I were probably yards away from one another years ago and never knew it.
Kathy and her mom took Kole to see her, while I actually did some volunteer work that was not court ordered. FSN Southwest has teamed with the Texas Rangers and Habitat for Humanity to build a home for a family in need and I signed up for a shift today, spent on the west side of Dallas helping repair the roof, installing windows and insulation. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding, but I feel like the way you do after 10 hours of non-stop skiing for the first time in a long time.
