Alia orchestrated a pretend picnic while we visited some old friends on Monday. Tanner (in the dark blue socks) was the destroyer and Elena one of two pretty princesses. We love impromptu visits with old friends!









Isn't this a pretty picture! I can just imagine how strange it is to see a drawer of eating utensils in my blog! Imagine my surprise then, when I noticed a box in the clean garage (Thank you, Martin!), opened it and found stainless steel utensils!!!!

Do you know how long Martin has been trying to get us to purchase new utensils?!? And there they were! Thank you to Grandma or to Joannie--however they came to be at our house--we are grateful for them!
