Our friends are so crafty

You've already seen the amazing "heirloom loom" sent by Helena, Ada, Heather, and Paul in a previous post. But you haven't seen the table and chairs yet! When Paul had to chop down the big tree in his front yard, I asked him whether he considered making Waldorf-style tables and chairs out of them. He DID make them and sent them over as combined birthday presents for Fiona and me. THEY ARE LOVELY!

See Nora trying to get Fiona and our little friend Robert to come join her immediately at the table. They were being waylaid by sidewalk chalk at the time. Or maybe it was cicada shells?

Our daughters are very blessed indeed to have such an amazing network of family and friends who love and care about them-- not just on their birthdays but all year long.
