Remember how much Billy loves his grandparents? For Christmas he made Grandma and Papa grandparent mugs and a coaster. The coaster is made out of clay, and in a stroke of organizing genius I threw away the box to save space. The directions for drying were on the box. We tried letting it air dry. No. We tried putting it in front of the heater to dry it out. It melted. We tried freezing it. It got cold. So, Billy gave the gift with the warning that it needed something under it so it would not stain the counter top.
Here is a guest blog entry from Grandma Susanne:
Billy was so cute today...
I caught him out of the corner of my eye, ever so carefully carrying my grandma coffee mug through the dining room. I knew it had coffee left in it from this morning, so I didn't say anything, so as to not startle him. After he set it down on the counter, I walked in to see what he was up to. He had carefully placed it on the blue coaster he had made me for Christmas. He was ever so proud, and went on to tell me I could use it for my cup, or put candy in it, and something else I can't remember. Oh, and I really shouldn't put it on a plate (which is where it was). So sweet and sincere. What a love.
