Finish, my boy is home, and my sweet girl child

This will be a long post.  I will do a late TUSAL sometime later.  First off, Rachel Howells is finished!!

40ct PTP Legacy linen

NPI fibers called for

Isn't she gorgeous?  I rushed to finish her cause I felt superstitious.  Had to finish her before going off for the weekend.

The father type and I drove up to Boston this weekend -- to pick up the boy child for the summer!!  Yay!  But first, we had to help him pack up his apartment.  Why?  Because they are doing renovations in his apartment building.  So the landlord moved him to a newly renovated apartment on Saturday.  And we had to help the boy child with the move.  

It's a nice apartment.  The exact same as the old apartment, but they made it into two rooms (one a bedroom).  And a nice new kitchen and bathroom.

Wow!

This is the living room.  

We also enjoyed a bit of Boston.

The WWII memorial in the Fens.

One of the Victory Gardens in the Fens.  The gardens were amazing!  The plots are given out to Bostonians to plant and tend.  I don't know all the details -- the boy child told us about them.

The boy child outside the Museum of Fine Arts.

We also spent a bit of time visiting with my sister and BIL and kids.  We took my sister and BIL out for Indian food to thank them for all their help through the past year with the boy child and his first year of college.

We drove home Sunday and got home by evening.  Later that evening, the door bell rang.  And a surprise walked through the door.

My lovely girl child!!!  I had no clue she would be here!  It was the best Mother's Day surprise.  We got to visit for a few hours, but then my sweet girl had to leave.  She had work in the morning so off she went.

Mia was overwhelmed -- happy that we were home, happy to see the boy child, surprised by the girl child.  lol!  But at least she found a quilt to cuddle up in.

It was a Mother's Day present -- a quilt made by Lori of Humble Quilts.  Beautiful!

Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi.  I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
