The Olympic games played on the television all day Saturday. I was getting ready to bake cheesy onion bread with Gabe. He wanted to do everything: measure out the flour, dump in the salt, even pour in the Guinness. We pressed and pounded the dough and set it to proof in the lightbulb-warm oven. Gabe and I laid on the floor in front of the TV building castles with the wood blocks. As castle architect, he instructed me on exactly where to place each block, and where not to. Just then Olympic wrestling came on the TV. We watched the twisting and grunting, looked at each other, and launched into our own wrestling and tickling free for all. Needing a break, we wandered outside to find Grandpa (Dad) fertilizing and watering his plants and flowers. Gabe just had to get in on that action, though he preferred watering the landscaping boulders. When the rocks were clean, he turned the hose on us.
And how old is Gabe, please?
