part one and part two. part three in captions

part 1: race time

the boys and greg ran a 3k... 

at the starting line

 i packed up my oats in william's lunch thermos and ate my breakfast out here while i waited for them.

not a sunny morning.  life in a cloud.

with a splash of color

i watched william come down the hill first...

taking a little walking break before rounding the bend to the finish line...

and there he goes...

he came back and helped his brother and dad finish up the last couple hundred yards...

whoops, henry.  stay on the trail!

there they go.  they will finish.  and henry will ask repeatedly if he won.

part 2: art exhibition

the modest artist...

not the two in the back, and, oddly enough, not the united states flag print, but the rest is W...

william collage close-up...

what does it all mean?

and now my computer ineptness has me unable to get out of caption mode.  i guess that's my cue to very quickly say that part three was william shoveling wheelbarrows full of dirt in the afternoon to help with what was leftover from yesterday's workday, and then to say goodnight.  goodnight!
