Our home is full today...with college shoots moving home for the summer, and out-of-town family here for a long weekend.
Because tomorrow is Mother's Day.
And my Funny Big Brudder and his wife brought Me Darlin' Mither the loveliest Mother's day gift ever.
They brought her one of their custom made redwood benches.
They are not like any other redwood bench you've ever seen.
They are Family Benches.
The slats are engraved with the names and birthdates of mother, father, and children, and the wedding date of mother and father.
And in between each slat is a piece of stained glass representing the birthstone of each person.
When the sun shines through the back of the bench, the colors of the stained glass are reflected on the bench seat, and even on the ground in front of the bench.
They are beautiful.
They are comfortable.
And they are precious.
And guess what?
One of them is mine.
I love the way the "two are made one" on the wedding slat.
Our bench is a work of art.
And no Inchie can do it justice.
