Books & Cooks Tour 2025!!

I was so freakin' happy that Jax wanted to continue our silly tradition. This year we delivered my homemade vegan cookies and books to Xavier & Mary, Dave, Stacey, & Lucy, MeMom & Pop, Bishop, Uncle Alan & Ann Marie, and Kayla & Kenny. I drove while Jackson played DJ and we kicked back to Nirvana, Deftones, Pearl Jam, Rush, Incubus, Sam Cooke, and Ozzy. Oh, and I made him listen to Taylor Swift's All Too Well (the ten minute version, of course) and he stated, "I like her as a person. But I hate her music." All I could think was, "Uh-huh. I used to think that very same thing...." One day I'll turn him to the bright side and he'll appreciate her greatness. Anyway...we had a grand time together. The highlight for me was just before I dropped him off last night to my in-laws. He wanted to listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit one more time, saying he misses playing that glorious song. He put it on and I ordered him to drum along to it on his legs and got a personal performance while driving down 295. That kid is so crazy talented. Here's the best photos from this year's tour.
