Jim's Stay in Grenada

I shared earlier, Jim took a week and headed to Grenada to help Caitlin get settled in her new apartment. I was glad he went, and he was even gladder (I know this is the right word, but it works well here).

He had a few odds and ends to do down there, and he wasn't able to do it without a trip to the hardware store. Now there are no Home Depots in Grenada, but whatever it was he found, he was more than elated to find it (even gladder). Of course, I knew sending him was the perfect idea, because 1) he loves to fix things up, and 2) Caitlin has her daddy still tightly wrapped around her little finger. So he fixed and got things that she needed without her having to even ask.

Caitlin took him to the campus and gave him the 25 cent tour, and then showed him the areas that she shops at for food and extras. The apartment is on a rather steep incline, so he got to do much exercising while there. He discovered that she is minutes from our American Embassy and that made him gladder still. "If you ever get into trouble or need help..."

Jim came home with a sense of accomplishment, and the knowledge that his little girl is safe, and that she has grown into a very independent young woman, who despite being able to do just about everything on her own, there's this little girl inside who still needs her dad at times, and he is very happy about that! In fact, he was very glad.
