My how time flies! Earlier this month, our son Bill turned 45, our daughter Leigh will be 43 at the end of May, and the youngest son (Dean) is 37. Yikes, it is so hard to believe we are old enough to have kids that old. To make us even feel older, our youngest grand-daughter is expecting a little girl late June (her first). The three "greats" we already have are 5 1/2, 3, and 1 1/2. They are growing up way toooooooo fast. Jessie and Louis haven't picked a name for the new addition, but they still have a couple of months to make that decision.
Ken just finished up several pendant & ear ring sets for a resident in the park who is leaving in a week. He did a beautiful job on them and is now working on more for next season's arts and crafts show. They have reduced the rock shop hours to a half day on Mondays and a full day on Thursdays, so we will have more time now to go caching (if it doesn't get too hot that is). The rock shop will be completly shut down at the end of the month because we are leaving around the 10th of May. Won't open it again until sometime in November.
During the warmest part of the day today I wire wrapped a couple more of Ken’s stones and still have a few more to do. It can be fun watching the wrap take shape, but it can also be frustrating when it doesn’t do what you think it should. The poor fingers take quite a beating working with something so hard to hang onto and then trying to wrap a thin wire around it. Hopefully, as time goes on, I will get better.
Here is some of what I have done. If you click on the picture, you can get a much better look at the stone and wrap. Also, from there you can also go to our web album and view more of our pictures.
More later!
