Our "Secret" Project!

 What started out by a simple "let's fix the broken chair" turned into a big project.  Micaiah and Miriam were all into it and really, really worked hard.  We stripped off the old material, flipped the bottoms and fixed the broken one, and covered the chairs with material from "Grandma Morgan's attic" :-) (now Mimi  Bixby's garage!), cleaned the chairs and voilà!


We agreed to keep the secret and wait until Mommy and Daddy  saw the chairs.  But we didn't have to wait for long...Tim saw it as soon as they walked in.  New chairs for 1 euro and a fun project with the grandkids.

We loved our surprise! Thank you so much for the work on our chairs AND for taking such good care of our kids so that we could go to Paris. We are so very grateful for you both!

Mom, you're amazing! But, I can't see them well enough. Can you get a closer up picture. Love it!
