Our grandson, Tristan, the fisherman and crabber is showing his latest catch. A 20" Rainbow trout! He has been fishing since he was three and is a master of his art. Not only does he catch them, he cleans them and cooks them for dinner. Same day....is that FRESH!!We watched him fry it up last night on face-time. Almost felt like we were there. They live in Oregon, and are only minutes from the ocean and rivers. What a great place for a boy to grow up. We miss them, but they have a great life there.
I'm excited to pull out the watercolors and spend time painting more cards. I was out of card-stock, but loaded up at Michael's the other day and hopefully can enjoy what I love. The table is small, but I'm making it work.
Hope you are doing something you love today!!
I agree - what a great place for a boy (for anyone) to grow up - minutes from the water!! Congrats, Tristan!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I would love to have them closer, Tristan could not have this life in So. CA.
DeleteSo glad you are painting again! And Tristan is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of my inspirations. You are so faithful with your Art. Yes we think he is pretty special.
DeleteHow amazing is Tristan??? I love seeing his trout!!
ReplyDeleteI am writing and sewing again - just a little of each but if I do a little everyday - I'll get my mojo back!
I only wish I could have a taste of it. I love trout.. Growing up my dad was a fisherman and we ate a lot of fresh fish. I'm so glad you are writing and sewing agin. Little by littlel. My new motto.
DeleteI have never been to Oregon but hope to visit one day. Enjoy your painting time.
ReplyDeleteTammy, it is beautiful. They are only minutes from the ocean and rivers and creeks. What a life. We lived six years in Santa Barbara by the Ocean....I loved it.
DeleteTeach a boy to fish and he will never go hungry! Way to go Tristan! And I'm so happy you're painting and doing what you enjoy :) I've been into puzzles for the past few months, but am taking a break for a week or so before starting another one.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps him off the "phone" and "social media" most of the time, and that's a blessing. So much garbage on line. I'd rather have him get a fish on "line". HaHa Glad you are working on your puzzles. That's a good hobby.
DeleteOh no...what happened to my comment I wrote yesterday? I really did write and comment on how much Tristan has grown and thrilled that you are back into watercolors again.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I had a senior moment or something but boo to missing the message.

Oh dear, I didn't see it! Probably a computer glich, not your senior moment. Yes he is growing up so fast. Right in the middle of years of body and mind changes. I guess Jill is giving him a little freedom, as I see he's died his hair blond....haha.
DeleteOregon is so beautiful. Our daughter lived there for 11 years when she had just graduated from nursing school. We were in Washington State and would visit her often and head for the coast. Several Christmas's were spent in a condo on the coast because she only had one day off so we would drive to her. It is a nature lovers paradise. That's quite the fish that Tristan caught.
ReplyDeleteYour cards look beautiful from what I can see. It's always fun to be creative and doing what you love.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Jill and Tristan are in Brookings. Right on the beach, 30 miles north of Cressant City CA on the border. Yes, Oregon and Washington are beautiful states. Thanks for your visit. Hugs
