@feisty76, @colleenyoung, And good afternoon from chapter two of entertaining and supporting the grandkids development. In this photo, also part of the chipmunk saga, we see the gender roles being acted out with harmony. He, at three and she, at eleven, come together on the front porch to feed Javier, our best-trained chipmunk.

Notice that she leans in to see his sample peanut.....after all she is the chipmunk expert. He is showing her the peanut he has selected for Javier. She approves and he will now hold it out and call Javier. Sorry I didn't video that transaction. Just imagine.....at this age, these young ones can teach us so much about collaborating that comes naturally and shows human respect.

May you be content and at ease.
Chris

@artscaping I love the way you have with words and you salutation at the end of conversation . The pictures are adorable and wonder what kids think and animals what goes through there minds My dog would get the funniest look on his face when Id talk to him

I think that picture is wonderful! The children are adorable and the landscaping (?) is simply gorgeous! Love the brick work! My family (father, grandfather, uncle, husband, sons -- all bricklayers to say nothing of brothers, brother-in-law, nephews--all bricklayers who are teachers of bricklaying and tile and I don't know what else. I didn't realize how excited I got over that subject. My sister and I when we were really young maybe seven and eight, took hoes and stirred mortar for our dad. It was really hard but we wanted to do it. We tried lifting blocks but couldn't even pick them up. So, the girls didn't become bricklayers, just wives of them. The boys took up the trade. I don't think my grandchildren have done it yet. My one grandson finishes cement. They are all perfectionist. I am so proud of my porch. My son laid the block foundation. It's perfect. He has two daughters who are in school. I don't know what they will be. My granddaughter is a social worker. She has two little boys whom I miss with all my heart. I miss all of my grands and great grands. I don't see them on the social media or whatever it's called. Oh how I miss them.
