My 8 foot bear with 2 Cubs climbing up tree
This stuff is a lot of fun to make
Each arm has a gate hinge to adjust to tree and there is a spike screwed into foot to keep secure

since my son is bogged down doing complicated tiling and doesnt really need me.....I still have no projects, so since my grandson loves blues clues, Im going to cut him a layered blues clues dog, have to make my own pattern. keep me busy another week or so.
 
Ok last one I promise
Got a picture and made this layered blues clues dog
Had to make my own cutting patterns but I think she came out ok
Need another coat of red paint on mouth then some outdoor poly

That's because you don't have to live with the little ones every day. You can have all the fun with them and then send them home. Only the good and very little of the problems, so having grand kids is much better than having your own.

Sadly, my grand kids are now both adults, but I'm hoping for some great grand kids soon. I do have two distant great grand kids, but through #2 son's wife's previous marriage, so her daughter's kids, so I almost never get to see them.

charles, being that my grandson goes to sleep at approx 5;30 each day, wakes up when my daughter wakes him up when she leaves for school, and then drops him off with us for 9 hours a day, I think we spend just as many hours while he is awake each week as my daughter or son in law.
and love every minute of it.\


rennie, cant compare elen to my little boy kaden. it was like when my daughter was born, and elen pierced her ears, and I bought her diamond studs, elen said, wow, the babies diamonds are bigger then my earings, and I told her the same thing, shes related to me by blood, you arent.

hes related to me by blood, elen isnt.

way different when I was young and had kids. Was always working, always had to worry about everything especially paying the bills,a;ways worrying about future, but now that Im financially secure, dont work, zero outside obligations, devoting a ton of time to my grandson, cant think of anytime I enjoyed life better.
Ofcourse, me and elen changed the course of our lives. We agreed once she retired, we would do alot of travel while we are healthy enough, and now we can only travel peak times, when schools are closed. It was rare we travelled anywhere on vacation during peak times.
