http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid7748331 is where I've put a few pictures of my humble attempts at Indian beadwork..... for those of you who asked! ;)

ONE MORE WEEK until we get to fly back home and see the kids and grandkids! We'll only be there 10 days, but I'll take it! Hopefully we'll get to do a 'drive home' in October, or so, and do a bit of harvesting for our freezer this coming winter.

My beautiful daughter (also known as the yarndiva) has reached her goal weight, after 2 long years! She has shed 99.2 pounds! I am so proud of that girl! What an accomplishment! Of course, I never doubted she'd get there--she's one of those people who always does what she sets her mind to!

Another dear friend passed away this week. Keith is especially lost, since this was his buddy to talk weather and motorcycle roads and stuff with. John had been everywhere his motorcycle would take him--repeatedly! He's the 4th one of our biker friends to go--we can only hope they're riding together on the other side!

So, our neighbors went to SD and just got back late last nite, after riding hard since Friday morning--2000 miles. And what was waiting for them but a thawed out freezer full of meat, flies, stink, and well, you can imagine..... WE hadn't been in there to check on things..... No need--their bird and the fish tank were at our house.... We feel just awful about it, but there hadn't been any reason for concern....

Meanwhile, our first tropical storm has come and gone. We were on the 'wet side' of it, so an inch or more of rain every day. We are starting to MOLD down here......

I shopped and shopped and then bought a pair of airline tickets home for the 4th of July. Betcha our grandson will remember his 8th birthday for a few years.... :) We're not telling him we're coming. The last time we talked on the phone he said, "You know...my birthday is coming up. You should be here for my party." He's going to be 8. I reminded him that we were there last year.....

Time to go see what I can find to fix to feed Shirley and LD for breakfast...their house is not a place where ya'd wanna eat this morning. Reeks of Clorox, and that 'underlying' aroma..... She'll be burning incense for weeks!
