Tall Tales / Re: May we move on, for coffee and chat ?
« Last post by River City John on Yesterday at 05:05:26 PM »Once again we were hosted to a fabulous brunch in Lincoln in honor of Mother's Day.
Fresh fruit, Caesar salad, chicken salad on bakery croissant rolls, bruschetta and a weighty concoction of chocolate and cream-filled cake. Plus a Mimosa.
An unexpected surprise, Our granddaughter Emily has been taking a woodworking class in school and made Lynn a table for Mother's Day. Birch inlaid with walnut. She made use of a table saw, planer, joiner and programmed a laser cutter to incise a design on the top, which was filled with epoxy resin to match the walnut. Then hours of sanding with progressively finer grit for a hand-rubbed finish.
Although it was Lynn's Mother's Day present, I sense a subtle nod to Grandpa.
The only caveat - when it comes time to redistribute the estate, daughter and son-in-law want it back.
