Phoenix wears the thrifted merino wool sweater I found her and it keeps her warm. Thank goodness for that. Here she draws, as we usually find her. She swings her legs and proprietress Kathi notices her dress and compliments it; later, as we are readying to go, she asks I can sew her an apron (with some very specific requests as to length, style, and fabric). Funny as I was just thinking how much I wanted to sew something for this same woman!
It was very cold today, but we all managed to keep warm. My mother came over for coffee and a long chat. That was fun.
Grave Responsibility
(Small Stone #4*)
Your hand trembles
But you pour my tea from the heavy pot
Taking care of your mama, as you say, “like a gentleman”
what a joy for the eyes, your daughter, drawing.
And congratulations on a new sewing arrangment.
I really love this photo. The colors — how Phoenix’s dress matches the decor. The way you captured this one aspect of your daughter’s personality. Again, I love it.
Thank you both!

This diner is a really special place and has been here a long time… It pretty much looks and feels just like this photo, with nomnomnom Chinese American food!
