Handsome and I spent most of the weekend outdoors. I planted herbs and flowers, and Handsome worked to get a fallen tree out of the field, just in time for our farmer friend to start his work for this season's crop.
We ended the weekend with a Sunday evening of music. We watched our son perform on drums with their band, Sainted Patrons. (l-r: Al Luening, Wade Liljegren, Jim Dier) We got to visit with both of our guys and their families, too. It was perfect.
Handsome especially enjoys watching his son performing the instrument(s) that he's loved all his life, and he's darn good at it, too! (We're not biased or anything.)
I'm spending today in the kitchen. Chocolate chip cookies, rhubarb custard pie and fresh bread are on the agenda. Handsome is going to a ball game with Grandson tonight, so I'll be sending goodies along with him to leave at their house.
The sun is shining, the temperature is perfect to be able to turn on the oven in our kitchen, and life is good. Have a great day today. Tag will be here tomorrow to chat with you!
It's always such a blessing to enjoy our children's accomplishments, especially when it's a shared passion! Goodness, looking at the pictures, it must be like traveling back in time and watching your Handsome playing the drums... the Dad & Son resemblance is uncanny! Handsome 2.0! (-;
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteI'm glad you noticed! It really is. He's the spitting image of his father, and they share than a few shared mannerisms and philosophies. Handsome says his son is a better drummer, but the son can't read music, and his dad can. They each have their own skill sets, but both are essentially self-taught. I get the benefit of being proud of both of them, and my heart is full watching them perform.
Hugs,

Sherry of createology. A wonderful weekend is exactly what you needed dear. Handsome must be very proud of his son playing music on the drums. They certainly look alike! Happy kitchen day…
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry:
DeleteIt sure was just what the doctor ordered. The weather couldn't have been better for an evening outdoors. Handsome is very proud, and you're right. When I stand between them, we call it a "Big Guy Sandwich". They're essentially the same height, and son looks just like his father. I can't help but smile.
Happy Week, dear.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteIt sure was! We only closed them later in the day today because it had cooled off again. It sure is fun to watch him play!
