The Family Affair

With the morning sun, I started in on finishing an old UFO.

The family cooks...Making of the stew..
Dylan scrubbing potatoes and washing carrots.

Lynsey braising the stew meat.

Great workers...fast learners...this grandma is proud.

Lynsey taking notes from a book I am reading to her.
Homework outside with nice comfy new jacket present...Thank you.

In the bottom corner of this picture is her "yummy" meal from the Pancake House this morning.
Green Grinch pancakes...a fine success. Especially as it left a peaceful sleep for me.

My son and Zoe cleaning the house for my Queen Bee quilting tomorrow.

Lynsey's pink rope bowl from Susie.

Below:  a Portland find!!  A lady who had just bought a new house had this piece
of furniture left by the previous owner.  Free for pick-up..It was so big.
But my girl and her man were able to get it, sand it and start work on it..
It is a perfect fit for their closet and a perfect price.

I am trying to believe this:
I do think it is true...the stronger wiser part..
But, why does it have to be so hard???

Thank you Nancy for the lovely visit..and the patterns and the cookies.
 I am reporting a good day from North Carolina.
