Painting party

Yesterday was Granny's Choice: Mom was to choose whatever activity she wanted to do for the day, and since Ian had the day off from work, we'd all go together! However, through a series of events too tedious to enumerate here, we managed to find ourselves at 3:30 with at least two of us unshowered and nowhere near getting to her destination of choice before its closing time of 5:00 p.m.

Undaunted, though, we made a Plan B: pottery painting! After getting cleaned up and eating a quick supper, we headed out to the studio so Granny could select a piece of pottery to paint. Then Fiona and Nora painted it and put their hand prints onto it. Fiona really enjoyed working with her Granny, and Nora thoroughly appreciated the flat space for walking around and the sponge shapes that the proprietor brought for her to enjoy at our worktable.

So while we have yet to get to Mom's original travel destination, we did have a marvelous evening, and in just one week she'll have a mug that will remind her of our painting party.
