Transfer of Parenting!

Dad and I had a great return trip - out in front of the storm that has made the Midwest wet and dark and cold today. It was a GREAT trip! 88 miles on day one afternoon, 128 for day two and closing with a full and beautiful 148 mile day (my hands are still sore!). Awesome, Dad! Let's do it again! I was transferred between parents at the Mendoza mcDonalds.

Here is the quilt Mom is finishing for niece Liz. Neat colors and pattern. It is the night sky! Complete with a great backing material and cat hairs! Beautiful!
