Got Er Done!!

We finished it! (with help from Abram, Spencer, Zack, Logan, Ivy, and Laura) Actually, Dad did most of it - he can stay with it longer than I can - about 15 minutes is my limit, It was fun and we left it up for 2 or 3 days just to admire our creating order out of chaos feeling - then back into the box it went - table folded up and put away and a feeling of space restored to the dining room until next winter when we're snowbound and the itch to do some puzzling returns.

Grampy telling childhood tales

It was suggested after cake at Grampy's birthday party that he gather the grandchildren around and tell them some of his childhood memories - of the runaway horse, of climbing up into the cupola of the old hay barn, of showing cattle at the county fairs, and more.
