Happy Mother's Day!!!

My mother is a lovely woman,
Full of beauty and grace.
A ray of gleaming sunshine
with blue-as-the-sky eyes.

She's got flair, panache, and style
That none of us can rival.
She's got swing, she's got rhythm,
She loves to dance and sing.

She is wise, she helps her husband
She loves others and speaks her mind.
A daughter, wife, mother, marmee,
She is blessed with family.

You are a great teacher and inspiration
By example you taught your children,
And around the covenant table
"The wheel is come full circle."

Green is the color...

Of a brand new hat!
Remember that knitting project I was working on? It's done!
It turned out pretty well but the pattern called for too many cast on stitches
- making it too long.
In the end I had to turn up the bottom and make a brim - almost like a cloche.
A couple more changes and next time I think we've got it!

Renaissance to Wireless

To catch up....
We are completely moved! Everything (mostly) is in order, boxes put away, storage bins stored, a happy baby gurgling in my ear...yes, this is home.

Friday evening we celebrated Henry's birthday - Clara helped me wrap his present...
mainly she just munched on the corners...with love.
Saturday we had a huge yard sale and finished cleaning our old apartment. (Hooray!)
Sunday after church we went to the Renaissance fair, 
listened to Runaway Symphony, got Henna'd, --->
and polished off the day with some delicious BBQ'd steaks in the sun.
And as of today I once again have internet. A successful weekend.
