Another of Tiffani's creations

I'm so glad I can finally post the picture of the lamp Tiffani made in Pottery this year. It's been done and sitting in the house, moved to a corner in her closet one day when we thought Gpa Ron was coming over, for over a month now I think. But I wasn't allowed to post pictures so there would be no chance Gpa Ron would see it. She really wanted to give it to him, but didn't want to wait until his birthday (Oct.) or Christmas and Grandparents Day had passed already... So we went searching for a reason (It couldn't be "just because") to celebrate and give Gpa Ron his new lamp. We looked up all the National Holidays for the month of June and picked... National Drive In Movie Day (It's actually on the 6th, but no drive-in's are open on Mondays). Being that the lamp was popcorn and movies & popcorn, especially Gpa's popcorn, go together, Tiffani decided we'd plan a drive-in movie night and she'd give the lamp to him then. It was a perfect surprise and Gpa Ron loved it.
I thought we should have covered a lamp shade with some fabric that had popcorn all over it, but Tiffani wanted to give it too him just as she made it - so she did!

The sunset was beautiful, too. But I couldn't zoom in on it with my phone camera.

Just so you know - you should have all gone barefoot on the 1st, running on the 2nd and then treated yourself to donuts on the 3rd & 4th... But if you missed all that, by all means play at work all day while eating fudge since it's National Fudge Day and Recess at Work Day on the 16th. I'm sure if there is something you'd like to celebrate there has been a day set aside for it somewhere! (brownielocks.com is where Tiffani finds all her cool things to celebrate.)
