Yes, bragging on my 24 years old grandson. Him on left and looks just like his dad.

Enjoying fun time with his friend. They will be deployed to Africa in the fall. That's all I know.

Good for both of you! A lot of women just can't give up their authority in the kitchen, just like a lot of men think of cooking as something they shouldn't be expected to do. imo, both groups are missing a lot of fun. DH took over the grocery shopping shortly after he retired. The first few months were both exasperating and hilarious, but he's gotten to be very good at it. Of course an incentive is that if he wants 'junk food' like ice cream or potato chips, he has to buy it himself. He doesn't do a lot of cooking but he did learn to read a recipe... as long as I annotate it as to pan size and list the exact order of steps. Some time ago Suzi mentioned writing everything down that she wanted to remember. I'm trying to do that with all the kitchen details and recipes. A lot of my cooking is seasoned with a 'dash' of this or a 'glug' of that, so I'm having to measure and experiment before the recipe can be used by anyone else.

Agreed. I had considered that and accepted the risk. It was yellowing before the skirt and still is, as are my un-skirted plants. I've come to expect disease down here, this plant has just been a pleasant surprise. I did the skirting to compete with the birds, and it has worked. It's been dry and breezy though, and the fabric is quite porous so maybe that will allow me to get away with it. At least until the tomatoes toward the very bottom ripen. Then I suppose I will remove it.

He may or may not know yet but Africa covers a whole continent. It is similar to stating he is going to be stationed in North America. Probably using that so family will not worry until time is closer.

Wow, he's so grown up! I remember the Little League photos you used to post of him when he was just a little guy. You have every right to be proud of him.

Glenda, I just had my first grandchild in July. I love that little baby so much. I hope to hang around to see him become a handsome young man one day too!

Your grandson looks like a great guy! Great smile. Good looking too!

Love to see this! Africa, huh? WHERE in Africa? (More shots first?)

IME, 24 is pretty grown up for a gal. Our DS was still coasting until 28. Thank goodness for his choice of marriage to someone willing to do the 'finishing'. (Tomorrow he'll be 50.) An adventure not to be missed.
