- 'Tis the season continued ...

I spent over five hours in a courtroom yesterday ... part of a 250-member jury pool that was whittled down to 12 brave souls. Kantha saved me from despair and I'm thankful to be home today.

While I was gone, Don sanded down the salmon milk paint on the wooden blocks,
revealing the warm golden base coat and wood grain below ...

And I've completed revisions of My Hippie Grandmother ...

in hopes of providing a bit of levity during bedtime reading for some special little ones who grace our lives ...
