Last night, while Meg and I were at the Jason Mraz concert, Phil showed Nick how to make beer. Nick really enjoyed the lesson, Doug had a great time watching, and I was glad that the three of them were able to hang out together. Nick was impressed by the operation and by Phil's knowledge of the beer making process. He said that Phil talked the entire time that they were together, which is a rarity. I don't think that Nick will be here to bottle the beer as he has to attend training in Ohio, but at least he got a taste of it, and we will save a few bottles for him to try when he returns.
By moving to Florida, Nick gave up the quick trips to see his own family in the Midwest. I don't know if he minds living over a thousand miles away from them as each family has their own dynamics to work through, but I am glad that we can step in at times and fill the void. I would never want to take over being his parents, but I am very happy that we get along so well with our one and only son-in-law. It makes everyone's lives a lot easier and brings a new perspective to the Heinisch family.
