21?

Sitting here with a cup of coffee-in my fav mug (at the moment). Just thinking. Hmmm, I should post something, but I don't have pics. I know how you love pictures. Or is that ME that loves pictures?

#1 will be 21 next week. Wow. Time flies. He is loving his job. Seriously. And he has the best tan in his life. Not a surprise there since I have been the sun screen mother from hell most of his life. I did give him a ton of sun screen this summer and he did use it. Now he has a great tan. And while I know it looks great, I cringe just a tad. Sigh . . . neurotic motherhood-does it ever end?

21 isn't a big deal up here. After all, the boys were "legal" the moment we crossed the border. Drinking age is 18 in Quebec (19 in some other areas of Canada). So, none of that get so drunk you pass out on your 21st birthday. Maybe they do that when they turn 18? There is a lot of educational information at #2's school about over indulging (alcohol and ummmm well, that green stuff that is grown). And kids are giving a special D/L that is probationary for two years. Zero tolerance for drinking and driving during that time. If they think you are drinking, they will take your D/L away. End of story. And it can take a while to get the probationary license back-sometimes years.

That said, folks up here LOVE their beer. It's a serious past time. The beer is stacked up high at the grocery stores. All little local markets have walk in beer fridges. Lots of beer to be had. And by watching those who return the bottles and cans for the deposits, lots of beer has been had.

On another note, Trish is due to give us a new grand nephew soon. I am pushing for #1's birthday. She wants a couple days earlier. Hey, Tricia, what's a couple days? I mean, you are only super preggers and its only the middle of the hottest summer on record. Geeessshh, hold it in until the 27th. :)
