Where has the time gone? It seemed like just a few short years ago these kids were born and, as my parents, my inlaws and friends all told me, in the blink of an eye the time flew away. Mid march hit and caught us all of guard...we put things on hold....but not really. The kids toiled away at school with some complaining but way less than I would have. Anna finished second year University and Jeff finished grade 12. The oddest part for Jeff was there was no huge build up to Grad. No pre grad parties, no grad dinner, no walking the stage in front of friends and family.
But the school, to their credit, managed to organize a drive up grad. You booked an appointment, then at "your time" you and your family could drive up and walk the red carpet.
It was short and sweet, but it was at least something. There were a bunch of teachers there plus the admin team. Jeff broke some rules and hugged his favorites. After we shares celebratory margaritas at a great taqueria.
I am proud to be dwarfed by my children, I am nervously excited about what they both will become, but regardless of what that may be I am proud and humbled to be called 'dad' by them.
Just as life and school moved forward so does progress on the interior of Fillmore. I have come across an oil based product called
OSMO it is a oil/hard wax material. Easy to apply, easy to care for, looks great and enviro friendly!
While I get a few coats on the wood wall, it was time to scribe and cut the cap. Having a little rebate in the wall to play with is always a welcomed challenge. Not to worry the screw hole covers, the wood plugs are trimmed flush to the wall. In this pic, I was playing with a plug that sat proud and was rounded.....but my brother very quickly pointed out that it just looked like a nipple.....and that kind of ruined it for me....flush it is.
