Yes, this is Sage. You know, "the wise one" . He kept his beard and mustache through the winter for our town's sesquicentennial this summer. Since then he has shaved it off and subsequently also shaved about 10-15 years off. We were at our nephew's high school graduation. Sage has kept busy all summer with various remodeling, and carpentry jobs. Peppermint and Spearmint worked as needed and got to practice their skills and learn some new ones.
