Persistence. 

The (almost) Everything table

During the time of covid we got used to being together outside

There was that kind of fiberglass table with 3 benches that worked some but also didn’t and aesthetically,  for me, did not.  I began to stubbornly want one like this..old fashioned,  wood.  When I moved here to the little house, the 3rd bench fell off. Perfect timing.  When my son was here,  without any conversation,  he ordered one. There was waiting but today…..and the first everything…the spiral log cabin that Faith taught me that has been sitting folded for more than a year for lack of flat space.  It can happen now.  Tomorrow tho will be prepping for the Elote sauce, zesting limes, mincing cilantro and garlic.

    It will be like adding another room to your home. Once upon a time, I lived with a man who made tables like this. I can tell it is well-made. Thick boards. Rounded corners. Attention to detail. Such a fine and love-filled gift.
