WELCOME
KAYLA'S DANCE RECITAL
What a wonderful experience! Not only did I get to see an entertaining program, but I was able to see my grand-daughter perform four times. It was at the Rialto Theater, one of the largest in town. She was to graceful and pretty, I could have burst. Her Mom and Dad have been so supportive and encouraging and it makes such a difference in her confindence. She will definately be our little Star.
Sarah is the little blonde, giggling as usual making future plans, which means the day after graduation!
Logan, who is a dear friend of Sarah's came down from Memphis to help her celebrate her day. He was so sweet and I've never been called Maam so much, but with a southern accent it sounds so sweet.
This is the whole family right before the ceremony, note we are still smiling. There were over 500 grads, and at least 5,000 people who attended. The ceremony itself was beautiful, but like I said the heat was like sitting in the middle of the desert. She will be entering the Air Force in August and she carries my heart with her.
NEW PROJECT THE BEGINNING
The horses are made of muslin and the tails and mane are made from clay.
BIRTH OF A CAROUSEL
The carousel is made upon a turntable with styrofoam and bits and pieces of cardboard,lace and lots of beads.
WHEW!!! FINISHED
This took me quit awhile, but I'm pleased with the results. But believe me I can understand why the price of carousels are so high. They are quite a challenge!
"WHEN PIGS FLY"
As of today they do, what fun this was to design, I laughed everytime I started working on this. I'll never say that phrase again without thinking of this guy.
I can always tell when Spring has sprung, my husband drags out our golf clubs and starts polishing them. I don't know why, mine always looks like I've been using them as a spade. The phone starts ringing and all his Frat Brothers start calling to making arrangement for their annual get together. This year we're playing in Georgia. It's great fun for us, but you should see the faces on the guys at the club house when eight seventy year olds head in to play 18 holes. They usually allert the nearest EMT's just in case. We've played all over these United States and they've been doing this for fourty years. May the golf gods be with us!
THE GATHERER
Another challenge met and made.
MINATURE DOLL & BEAR SWAP
This is Merry-Pippin, he is on his way to Debb to live on a farm. I'm sure he will be very happy there and I know Debb will take good care of him.
YOU CAN'T SEE HIM TOO WELL, BUT THIS IS WHERE "MERRY-PIPPIN" LIVES.

WATER - WATER EVERYWHERE!
Well, this is only Saturday and already the weekend is ever exciting. Last night about midnight, I went into the Work Shop for a vac, and low and behold there was a small stream running through the middle of the room. Naturally, since I am a curious person, I thought I would follow it, just to make sure we would'nt have to break out the life raft. Low and behold, I discovered it's source. Our hot water heater had finally given up the ghost and was spewing water in many directions. Well, naturally the first thing I did was yell for my husband to come and see what solution he could come up with. Miraculously, he did, he turned off the water, Dah! So with that, being as late as it was, I heated a kettle full of water, washed my face and went to bed, thinking tomorrow is another day! And sure enough it was! It is now 3:30 p.m., and thanks to Sir Kurt, my son, and knight in shinning armour, we have a new tank and hot water. See you never know just how exciting a weekend can be, but if you get bored with yours, you can always come here, because believe me it is never dull. Oh well, tomorrow is ANOTHER DAY?!
