We have the most wonderful maintenance guy at Sayre. Kerry keeps all of Sayre in tip-top-shape, and he’s been such a huge help to us in so many ways this year. In addition to making sure everything is in perfect order for us, he’s also become a good friend to our family– often taking time to stop and chat with me and/or Braydon, and even more often taking time to stop to play one or two minutes of hoops with K & O… which goes a long way in making two boys feel very much at home and cared for. He’s been great. And we’re ending the academic year on a very high note with Kerry– he went way above and beyond to provide us with not just an outdoor faucet hook-up, but a hose and sprinkler too. We used it for the first time this weekend! It made the five J-Ms very happy (especially a certain 4-year-old-girl).
I am so glad that living on campus doesn’t have to mean sacrificing this simple spring/summer childhood pleasure.
And who says it is just a “childhood” pleasure? Turns out… yup!… our Sayre (20-year-old) friends enjoyed-the-heck-out-of-it too! (a great study break during final exam week!)
This is awesome!
OMG this is so awesome! Kerry sounds fantastic! Yes, yes, yes, I remember seeing your huge yard and the bambinos playing in the mud, sand, sprinklers and the pool — so glad they can have those summer childhood pleasures still…what a treat (also for the onlooking and participating students!)
