That oil lamp again

It took a couple of tries (miscommunication on my end) but I got the chimney and the collar for that old oil lamp. NOW I find that the collar does not fit the burner that goes with the lamp. I jammed the burner on there temporarily so the lamp can be used while I figure out what I want to do about it. I do love this lamp.

A visit with my sister and nephew

I got to take a couple of days off this week, dropped Kieffer at college orientation at UNI and then drove north to Roseville where my sister Laura and her son Nathan are visiting our parents. It has been 2-1/2 years since we saw one another. It was a short but precious visit.
