Well, we made it....another painful year of tax prep and processing completed!!!!
We were able to mark off our list the looming deadline of this annual process!
I am really a patriotic person but this process needs an overhaul!!!
So the rest of the week we had time for some other important and more fun things to do!!!
Boys Baseball....Dylan making some incredible plays on the field.....
Brody's batting is hot hot hot!
My photography is horrible; but at this months DAR meeting the speakers were Military Button Collectors....here is one that George Washington wore during his inaugural - with provenance....very impressive. The lady that owns it has collected since 1951 and said when she bought this it was her birthday, anniversary, mothers day, valentines day and Christmas for several years....I can believe it! It was an honor just to see it!
She had so many different displays and all nicely done. She told us all about the Grand Review - which I have to admit I had never heard of and was mesmerized by - and also buttons from the GAR....I love buttons but my knowledge is so small on all of this....for more about The Grand Review - click here: https://www.grandreviewparade.org/
I was lucky enough to win the button guessing contest and this little beauty came home with me!
My Thrifty Finds for the week.....clock for clock collection - I think I need one more and then will be complete. A cranberry glass for the guest room collection and a fairy for a future fairy garden I hope to put together soon.
Speaking of gardens - we got ours planted this week! All kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, yellow Patty Pan squash, zuchinni yellow cook neck squash, basil and garlic!
On a whim, Dylan decided to take up surfing and yes he was up on the first try. He is so agile and has great balance....I take no credit for that kind of dna!
We enjoyed the annual Day at the Docks with the boys....oh what fun we had!
We decked the boys out in the USA outfits and took it all in....we toured all the fishing boats....
This is on the Odyssey which is a classroom boat that Dylan had taken classes on...they boys are touching a sting ray....proud gramps in the back.
These awesome fish captains set up a fish pond for the boys to catch and release....
They both loved that and boy did those fish bite fast - almost didn't get pictures!
We have such beautiful bays and docks in San Diego - this festival was at Shelter Island....
Brody enjoyed making some sea monsters at the craft station.....
And at the end they load you up with free fabulous fish tacos!!!!!
With our newly purchased minnow nets we stopped off at the pond near our house and tested them out....
Of course, Nature Boy, nets one on his first try.....we plan to use these on our upcoming RV trip!
We love the USA and all it has to offer.....but let's do the flat tax peeps!
