Rock On, Grandma!

My rocker is finally all sanded, stained, glued, and finished! Summer is nearing an end, but I still have some beautiful fall days in which I intend to sit out on my back porch and enjoy the motion. Cool breeze across my face, head back, eyes closed, foot pushing back and forth, back and forth... maybe even a small child nestled in my arms. I may have to wrap myself in a warm blanket and hold a hot cup of coffee, but I'll be out there.

  1. It looks great! I guess if that small child is Josh, he'll have to be distracted with a book or something in order to keep him there. He's got way too much to explore and learn about right now. In the spring Dave and Leta's little man will enjoy a rocking with his grandma!

  5. Well, I've been mourning that Summer is coming to an end, and Fall is quick to follow.. but the picture you've "painted" has me kind of looking forward to it now! Really nice job on the rocker.. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
