We went to the airport and watched the students take off one by one. I think it's a good place to fly...,without mountains. I was a bit anxious thinking about Mason being up there by himself. I don't remember being concerned about Jon doing the very same thing. I'm assuming I just can't remember but Jon was also flying on his own before he even left for college so had some experience. And Mason is the youngest of the grands......
It was a fun filled weekend, punctuated by a UND hockey game. How fun to see all the families, babies with headphones, everyone in green and cheering loudly. And they do sell a lot of beer. Mason is in the band but skipped this evening so was my guide to everything hockey and band....they are good and added so much to the spirit of the game....but they still lost.Back to our other life..... the leaves are turning, the roses are in full bloom ( after hardly showing up this summer ) and the weather is perfect.
In the recesses of a cupboard, I found this like-new rice cooker. It made the fluffiest and most perfect quinoa in 35 min. Normally I use the Insta Pot , which is faster, but it sticks to the bottom. Next up is brown rice.
We will get our flu and Covid vax today and hope that getting them at the same time won't be a mistake.
This is Scout. He is a Catahoula Cattle dog. He looks more ferocious than he is. But he was a pain to draw. She gave me several pictures and he was grey, brown or black depending on the light. And the pics were out of focus. I should have taken my own but I stumbled thru. He has
a blue and a brown eye. That was the first thing the framer said so I'm glad that is obvious. I give them double matted. I think it enhances my work and protects the surface from contact with a glass frame. I hope they like him. Next up is a golden retriever..... I think it will be very hard.
