I am loving mornings around here! Kyle was upstairs and ready for DS9 before 5. Fortunately, I was home from my walk. |
![]() |
Adele and Camille wanted to watch, but they also wanted to get the bagels in the oven. They have observed what I do -- and they put on headphones while we worked together. |
![]() |
I made a note of the time. |
![]() |
Camille coached Adele how to turn the bagels in the boiling water. |
![]() |
I wasn't even the sous chef this morning. I kept an eye on things, but pretty much I was relegated to washing the dishes. |
![]() |
These girls know the routine and they work well together. |
![]() |
And the bagels were delicious. |
![]() |
Adele has learned that DS9 is less scary when she takes her headphones off. |
![]() |
Just so you know, there is a scene here where I always cry. Even this morning. |
![]() |
After breakfast, it was time for pool. Kyle and I played a normal game. |
![]() |
When Camille joined us, I racked the balls for Extreme Calvin Ball. Notice the two cue balls. This is a game changer for me, in a good way. |
![]() |
Adele fed the fish at 9:20. |
![]() |
I blocked out the morning so we could paint. While Camille searched through my cupboards looking for suitable items, Janet returned from her weekend adventures. |
![]() |
Lewis had to show her all the fun things in Papa's tank. |
![]() |
Adele chose to paint a cactus plant. First, she studied the leaves and sketched them on paper. |
![]() |
Camille chose a Japanese salt shaker. We positioned it at eye-level. She experimented with my watercolor pencils. |
![]() |
Kyle joined us while he worked on math. We had a cookie break before he left with Papa and Steve. |
![]() |
We had a wonderful time together, and the girls are great artists. |
![]() |
In the meantime, Lewis was catching up on some mommy-time. |
![]() |
Will joined Papa, Steve and Kyle at a shooting range. He was excellent at coaching Kyle. |
![]() |
Kyle enjoyed shooting Papa's 357. |
![]() |
He did well with the 30-06. I had concerns that this might affect his pool game, but he assured me he'd be fine. |
![]() |
After painting, the rest of us went to Costco -- my idea of a good time. Upon returning home, we threw together a pasta meal based around the basil growing on my kitchen counter. |
![]() |
Lewis thoughtfully contributed chocolate-covered raisins to the meal. |
![]() |
For dessert, Papa required everyone to participate in his ice cream taste test. No one resisted. This was a lot of fun, and tasty, too. |
![]() |
After lunch, Lewis and Adele opened a vet clinic. |
![]() |
Kyle, Camille and I returned to the pool table. |
![]() |
I was delighted when Camille observed that her dark blue swirl pool ball was the same color as her pool cue. |
![]() |
A few minutes later I spied Lewis rustling through the books. This occupied him for quite some time. I wondered where Adele was and I left the pool game to search her out. |
![]() |
She was very cheerfully organizing the animals on the shelves in the closet. |
![]() |
All of a sudden, we were at the pool! |
![]() |
Janet and Lewis jumped right in! |
![]() |
Adele loves the pool toys. |
![]() |
Lewis wanted to be tossed in the air. |
![]() |
Camille worked on form. |
![]() |
Steve invited Janet to take a turn. She started laughing long before the jump. |
![]() |
She continued to laugh while she was in the air. |
![]() |
Maybe this didn't end well. |
