We went to the
Sonoma County Landfill last week and visited the area known as
"RecycleTown". Lots of used bikes, chairs, tables, doors, window frames and your basic junkyard goodies. However, I spotted in the back corner of the building a typewriter case that was slightly ajar. This former legal secretary knowns a
Smith-Corona typewriter when she spots one and the pretty blue model peeked out from the case. It was in excellent condition and for $5...we just had to have it. However, I had zero cash on me and they didn't take checks. We were also leaving for our trip to Southern California and couldn't come back the next day. Well, my mom saved the day and gladly returned to
RecycleTown and purchased this beautiful relic for Grady to practice his spelling and storytelling with. It takes so little to make my kid happy.
In the above pictured mumbo-jumbo is the sentence "Kevin George Salas Is A Girl". Grady's first insulting sentence aimed at his menacing Uncle Kevin. Too damned funny.
House projects. We have a long list of things to perk up inside the house and sanding, painting and reinforcing Grady's bed was high on the list. G loves helping his dad and the use of power tools really made his day. I love seeing my guys working together. When asked what color he wanted his bed painted, Grady responded, "Pink". Of course he did.
Candy Onions from our garden. A little on the small side, so I think I need to plant deeper next year. I'm just happy they grew at all. After I harvest all of the onions, I'm going to plant a bunch of garlic in their place. Garlic has the most beautiful flowering top and then you get the added bonus of soft, moist garlic cloves. Can't wait!
