Eighteen!

Image
 My children are now officially adults. WTF? I had a good day with Jared. I decorated the house, and made pizza for supper. We went to the mall and I got him a few small things. We had DQ ice cream cake. It's most likely the last birthday I'll have with him where we're living under the same roof.  Birthdays always make me a little sad, and make me wish for the days when we all lived under one roof.

Another Lesson

 Jared is soldering some wires together in this photo. He's helping Todd install the new stereo in the Lincoln. 

Dreams Do Come True

Image
 I often think there is no use in going to Value Village too often.  But, sometimes,  out of boredom,  I find myself there twice in one day. This morning,  I found the cutest little shelf for my bedroom.  Then, Jared wanted to go just before supper, and he found an accordion!  God, was he ever excited. After a discount, it cost him $62. I have no idea what it's worth, or even how well it works. Jared doesn't have a clue how to play it.

So It Begins

Image
 Harvest 2023 is officially underway. It started yesterday,  unexpectedly for Todd. But, luckily for him, his Mommy made him a sandwich. As you can see, it is very dusty. I haven't heard anything about the yield yet.

My Favourite Flower

 The hydrangea shrub is blooming beautifully this year.

Fresh Art

 I was able to find a couple of passable,  affordable picture frames to fit Tucker's art. I'm so deeply in love with his work.

Another Finally

Image
 My craft room has been needing attention for a very long time, and I finally got in the mood to take care of it. I even updated the decor. I found some nicely framed botanical prints at Value Village.  This cup is a stunner though, and I just had to have it. I plan to use it to hold water for watercolour. Also, I've recently been finding some great stones.

Finally

Image
 Jared had a few days off, and we finally got the chance to watch Midsommar. It is a great film. Very twisted, but makes you think. 

A Great Car

Image
 Jared has completely fallen in love with the Lincoln. He wouldn't let me take any photos of him with it until he had the right outfit on. Looking good Kiddo.

Laundry Day

Image
 Here are my entirely useless laundry helpers.

Collecting

Image
 Jared is officially caught up on his Junji Ito collection.  The artist is still alive and working, so the collection will continue to grow.

Teachable Moment

Image
 Here's a dad showing his son how to change the alternator in the Lincoln.  They had it done in no time. They also tried to change out the stereo,  but have the wrong connectors, so that will have to wait. Harvest started today, so God knows when that will happen. 

Some Fresh Art

 Tucker most likely won't be sending me too many new pieces since he started an Instagram account and I can see everything there. Here are the latest along with a great mugshot of Jared.
