Of course, watching Del and Jordan put it together and getting it hooked up to the tree, was, in itself, quite enjoyable to watch. As in all projects they do together, they push each other to the limits in patience, opinions, and ways to accomplish the task. Del ended up on the ground a few times, as did Jordan before they finally agreed as to where the hammock needed to be...then is when each of them was finally able to try the hammock out and enjoy it's purpose. I sat in it once, but don't find it to be quite as relaxing as everyone else does, mainly because I don't have very good balance or control of my center of balance. I ended up on the ground once and decided I had had beyond enough fun.
Del cam home from church today, we had a great dinner and dessert, and then before doing some more Bishop work, we went out to the hammock where he layed for over an hour and I sat in a nice chair next to him. The weather was gorgeous, a cool breeze, and of course, the scenery was heaven. Del was the most relaxed and happy I have seen him in years. A phone call came and he even stayed in the hammock while handling church business. He stayed another 30 minutes talking to his mother on the phone while I came in the house. I think he has found his happy place. We agreed that the only thing that would make it better would have been to have his three grand children in the hammock with him while he told them stories...
I think we might arrange that.
