When Fran was here in 2007, she was amazed to see how the little kids loved their little 2-inch plastic statue of St. Elizabeth, our school patron. She decided to look for a larger one. When I arrived home this past fall, there waiting for me was a 2 1/2 foot high St. Elizabeth Fran found on e-bay. Luckily British Airways allows an extra bag for missionaries and she made it safely back with me. (St. Elizabeth that is, not Fran.) We waited to put her up until after we painted the dining room, which we've just finished. Here the children are taking their morning porridge, as St. Elizabeth overlooks them. Yes, Fran, she's now varnished. I know the idea was to have the natural outdoor woody look, but I was outnumbered by those who thought she must be varnished.
Ah, St Elizabeth looks wonderful looking out over the children and their porridge and other meals. Varnished is OK with me. St. E looks nice.
