For mom's birthday on April 3rd (yes, we have a lot of April babies in our little family), dad planned a blissful day of surprises, including Nutella pancakes for breakfast (yum!), pottery painting (so fun and relaxing), and dinner at a special restaurant.
We were pleasantly shocked by how well our painted pottery turned out! We went into it with low expectations, since neither one of us has any artistic talent, and mom can't even paint her fingernails.
Dad recreated a beloved bowl from his own childhood, adding Baby B's initials. It turned out great!!!
Mom went the Impressionistic route, creating a "trippy sunflower" spoonrest.
It was an unforgettable and very enjoyable birthday!
Happy Birthday Young Lady! Congratulations to you and yours. Last week, I had an inkling that I needed to google the Netter name. And-I found your Grandmother's Obiturary. I remember helping your Father take the top off of her convertible Mercedes Benz. He told me that if I dropped it, he would take $5,000.00 from my paycheck. I was terrified! LOL. She was an accomplished lady and I liked spending time with her at the Alta Lodge. After reading the obit...I then found this wonderful and charming blog. Please say hi to the family for me.
