The morning glories are finally blossoming - Heavenly Blue ones by the back porch, and some blue and white variegated ones in the front trellis. Just lovely!
Had a wonderful visit from Matthew and Davie. We had a family get together for supper on Friday, and then on Sunday Delaney made us all brunch! It was her first time to make buttermilk pancakes from scratch, brown sugar and butter syrup, yogurt and granola parfaits, bacon (I helped her with that) and some of Grandma C's famous coffee cake. Everyone left on Sunday afternoon, so it was very quiet around here!
This week I enjoyed Poetry Plus on Tuesday night - Sharon presented the poetry of Luci Shaw, who also wrote a book entitled "The Crime of Living Cautiously" - wonderful evening. This morning I had coffee with Barb Lamb and we went over the prize list for our church library Summer Reading Program. Tonight I have Conversation Club at Kate Reno's house, and tomorrow I will ride along with Gloria over to Cincinatti to visit her mother Helen (age 99!).
My project for the week has been refinishing the coffee and end tables that were given to us by Steve's folks many years ago. They purchased them in about 1957, and we have been using them in this house for 21 years. I am done with the coffee table and it looks beautiful!! I have stripped the end table and now am putting layers of tung oil on it - should finish it by Friday afternoon. I love the thought of hanging onto "heirlooms" - just think of all the conversations and life experience those tables have been a part of - I would think that we will use them for many more years to come! Now, if we could get our 32 year old couch recovered, I would be very pleased!
Hello September, and welcome to the start of autumn!
