Offspring

So, the original idea of my blog was to describe an unusual family that does not only consist of blood relatives, and our habitat, the Balcom House. Much of the interesting happenings go on during the summer, and I started blogging at the end of summer, when we were just getting off the road. Now back to my course - the family. I have described the "original two". Now, the offspring. This one is Caralie. She is about ready to fly off and start her own life. (She is a senior in high school). For now, I get a lot of great times with just her, as Ken is "bringing home the bacon" from a remote location, and Tully, our eldest, is 20 years old, and doesn't spend a whole bunch of time at home anymore, as that would be very peculiar for a man of his age. Caralie has a creative side that brings her into many realms - songwriting, painting,interior decorating, and even cooking. Caralie and Tully have been taking turns (without any begging or prompting) making meals. Caralie makes very delicious meals. Tully makes delicious meals that are so unusual. He made a sauce the other day that consisted of honey barbeque sauce and carrot juice! Don't say "yuck", because it was actually very good. More about Tully later. Caralie made dinner with her friend Johnnie. This is her friend Johnnie, setting the table.
