Good to hear your update, especially on Ashley. It sounds as though her life is getting settled and she's doing a great job. That's a testimony to your support. We all grow up... some day. It just takes some of us longer than we'd like.
And how awesome is it that her BF can finish the grunt work capably? I wish I had those skills.
Enjoy your time in Philly. And good luck with getting your taxes done. It's a pain, for sure - especially when you're self employed.
Good luck with the reno stuff!
