Since the filming, Jared has moved in with us full time. He is in High School and on the honor roll. Additionally he has been taking flight lessons. He wants to be a pilot. He started when he was 15 and flew solo on his 16th birthday. Kind of funny that he can fly a plane but isn't allowed to drive a car at 15.
Guy is doing well, and has survived our teaching Jared how to drive, so far. He has been working at his job of 15 years and things are going fine there. I have been painting a lot, Plein Air oils.
I have also been in Art A Fair, one of the large ongoing art festivals in Laguna Beach, CA, and will be in the Plein Air Painting festival in San Luis Obispo in October. I hope to have a gallery soon. There are waiting lists for many of them.
I realized that I didn't say anything about the film and the turmoil after filming. There was a distance between Grandma, Paul, and myself that I had not experienced before. Truthfully, I regretted the filming to a degree. My Grandmother, Mother, and myself are all only children, and we are all we have. That fact made us, I think, resolve our differences, or at least put them aside for the sake of family. We have a lot of love between us.
