Our Mother Bear

Nonna was on TV last week!

That's her, with her name spelled right, and everything. Mom has been volunteering with the Mother Bear Project for several years now, and unfortunately I haven't done nearly enough reporting on this to know the whole story. Knowing that she's a regular reader of the blog, though, hopefully she'll take the time to tell us more.

You can watch the video of the piece that ran on WCCO last week, and read an accompanying story that quotes her one extra time.

Meanwhile, Cate has been knitting as well, as has Elizabeth. Cate just put the finishing touches on a bear for Robert that didn't take her much time at all, while Elizabeth has been knitting leaves, mice, skyscrapers ... interesting stuff.

For the record, Cate and E are crocheting bears. I know Patrick has challenged me to write more on the blog about the project but I suggest you check out the web site, motherbearproject.org. If you look real close to some of the Zambia pictures you came find Pat and me at one of the community schools. The experience was an epiphany.
