Jude has been hard at work doing extra chores around the RV and for my mom during quarantine. He’s worked SO hard to earn money that he’d like to purchase a guitar with. He’s washed the RV (an 8 hour job!), washed the truck, cleaned windows and a bunch of other small jobs over the last few weeks. He will reach his goal very soon!

Also, I love my mom’s porch.
Shoeless. Always. Either can’t find them or doesn’t care. When quarantine is over and I force him back in to shoes, he’s gonna be mad.
Concentrating. It’s genetic. All the Stradtners do it just like this.
