Pilgrim Painting

I've had some time to work on some tole painting. These two pilgrims are for Mom's birthday. I've gotten a lot done in the past week. Of course this is just the front and these darlings are two-sided.

Mom is Wonderful

I was in FL last week on business. Mom drove me to the airport and picked me up again when I came back. The surprise was that while I was gone she did a little touch-up on my home. She washed my sink dishes and cleaned the sinks themselves. (I noticed the dishes quickly, but only noticed the sink too, like, yesterday!) She also cleaned my shower. I know because I noticed that, ok this is gross but, I noticed that some hair was missing that I was going to throw away when it dried. Then I checked under the shampoo bottles and found out that the tub was cleaned. Wow! That was really nice. She does a lot for me and I don't say thank you enough. I feel a little guilty that she does so much.
