She's the director at ACW where I'm an apprentice. He's very creative -- works in wood & can draw/paint well. But I never thought he would turn to clay. I think when he gets some experience he will do some sort of mixed media. He has a real job though - so he can't spend long hours in the studio yet. And I'm so sorry to see summer and all the fresh vegetables end. But I was happy to see apples at our organic market! I agree with you -- I don't shop as mindlessly as I once did. Organic & local food is more expensive, but if I'm careful & only buy what we can use - I actually save money. At first my son rebelled at the 'healthy' food - but now I notice he chooses it when we are out. I try not to use much processed stuff. And we rarely eat out. I'd much rather cook with a glass of wine at the end of the day - then make the effort to drive to a restaurant!
