Thank you guys! It's one of the first times when I get to go alone with my dad and help him do something - guess there was a moment for that sort of thing to begin. Now, as much as I don't like it, my folks are aging and moreover, since grandpa needs someone to be home with him all the time, mom had to remain home.
The good part is that I think I could give each one of my friends here at GMC a bag of apples if you were closer, after I would've picked'em all up
