It only happens once...make the most of it. My son is 57 now.I took a vacation day on friday to pick up my son from college. I think this might be his last summer home; he seems confident he will be doing research in the chem lab at school. Or an intership for BP. Im working my tail off getting ready for my daughters high school graduation party. Not much time for fishing, turkeys, or morels.
That is a beautiful home!Finally got moved into the house and now we are starting the garage.
Cut a ton of trees (popular) and getting ready to saw them on my portable sawmill (not here yet) for shiplap to cover the garage walls......
Missed the entire turkey season and most of the good bowfishing this year. Hopefully we are up and running 100% by September. Lots to do still and its been a busy spring for sure.
Couple pictures.
Glad to be out of the camper. Been in that thing since Sept 26th of 2020....
This is the last house we will ever build. Next time I move its straight down 6'.......lord have mercy what a PITA...

Wow, it is hard for me to fathom when my kids will be teenagers let alone that age of adult.It only happens once...make the most of it. My son is 57 now.
My oldest daughter doesn't worry me, its number 2 and 3 that make me scared for other people on the road LOL. Number two dances everywhere and 3 is a crash test dummy most days.I'll give you guys a fair warning when mine starts to drive. She was driving the side by side across the field yesterday with her friend...
Lord have mercy when she gets a car. She's going to be off my insurance for sure....
My son has been ticketed twice now on the way to school. On the first one he was able to take an online drivers class and put him on probation for 1 year. But he got the second one 6 months later so now we had to get an attorney involved so he doesn't lose his license. 2 tickets before you are 18 ends up with a 2 year suspension (something like that) in illinois. Both tickets were bullshit IMO, 74 in a 70 and 76 in a 70. I've driven that section of interstate hundreds of times and I'm doing 80 and in the slow lane with cars passing me like I'm standing still.I'll give you guys a fair warning when mine starts to drive.

Agree, it does go so fast... My oldest just took a job in Florida and is moving next month. My wife isn't too keen on him living that far away so my chances of permanently moving further west just got downgraded. My plan is to have my youngest move west so we can have a house on the beach and one in the mountains!It only happens once...make the most of it. My son is 57 now.
