I'm so proud of my grandson!

16 years ago

Luke has always been a good kid, but he topped himself this time! We always hear about the bad things kids do, so I wanted to share something good. I'm glad the local newspaper felt the same. Besides, I'm bragging!

I don't grow gladiolas since I can't be bothered digging the bulbs in fall but that combo pic of the Stokesia, yarrow (Coronation Gold?) & glad is a stunning combination of color. The brick walkway makes a lovely textural contrast. Well done you!

She started with one on her own. Then I brought in the book from the American Clematis Society to taunt her and gave her a whole bunch of printouts of easy clematis to grow, their care and pruning guidelines to get her started. That was 3 years ago. I'm going to see the both of them next Friday. I can't wait to find out how bad, I mean how many clematis she has now. ;)

Good job karma! I'm proud of you too! Isn't it funny how gardening gives you little "boosts" every now and then? Just when you think nothing's ever going to grow the way you want or bloom when you want...something great happens! GGG -- Me too. I collected grounds all year last year, and they really heated up my compost pile! But, I learned my lesson about the coffee filters. I was told they'd break down easily too, but they don't seem to in my pile. I'm not going to use them this year. I guess if I cut them all up into little pieces they might break down better, but not sure I have the time. We drink a LOT of coffee! LOL

Orubis...You have no idea how timely your post is! The gutters are going in on Tuesday followed by French drains on Wednesday. :o) We don't have gutters on our current house (never needed them), but the new house is a whole different story. We realized after the first heavy rain that they'd be neccessary. It's been pouring rain for 2 days and there are trenches where it's coming off the house. The puddles are turning into lakes. *sigh* Since we're on the subject of gutters, we were amazed at the variance in bids that we got for them. We need 141 LF and 10 downspouts with a few miters. We had 4 bids that were between 800-900, 1 for 1700, and another for 2700!!! I think that guy's method of bidding a job was to see how much he owed in bills that month. LOL

What a great kid, and cute,too! Sounds like Luke and his team mates already know what some adults never learn--the value of working together and having empathy for others. You should be proud.

I'm glad your grandson was so generous. It also sounds like the whole team deserves a pat on the back for wanting him to have this opportunity. Some adults are doing a good job training these kids.

What a kind, thoughtful kid. You have every right to be proud of him. I hope the other little boy is doing good with the cast too.

To me, that's better than any academic or sports achievement! You have every right to be very proud of that sweet boy. Good on him, as Thom Hartmann would say.

Thanks for looking, and for all of the nice comments!

Luke's team is quite incredible. The coaches are amazing. Every child plays every game, there is no showboating allowed. Many youth sports coaches could learn a thing or two from them. The result? They're undefeated! Trust me, they aren't the most talented kids in the league, either.

Eric is doing fine with his casts. Thanks for asking!
