First Beautiful Day of The Year

Today was a beautiful day. We had 60 degree weather and decided to take advantage of it by finishing a cedar chest that one of my friends had given to us last summer. I started sanding it down in the late fall, but obviously never got it finished. Terry and I thought that today would be the perfect day to get outside and get it done. I was inside cutting more sandpaper to fit our palm sanders and started out the door to take on the rest of this project when I saw Faith helping her daddy:

I just had to get a picture of this! Faith is always asking if she can help... even if she gets bored with whatever task within about 2 minutes! It's just such a sweet gesture. Terry and I managed to get the cedar chest finished, and it looks beautiful. I snapped a couple of pictures to show you {even though it's still drying in the garage] please excuse the push mower!

So this is how it turned out. Not too shabby! We are just waiting for the stain to dry before moving it into the house. Thanks Corrine for thinking of us before getting rid of this beautiful chest!
