A few more earrings.....

With the jewelry equipment ready and waiting I find myself working at odd hours to create just a few more earrings.  Using Dale's hammer I have bent and pounded wire to create some of the favorite styles.  Most of them are unique but a few have been repeated because they are favorites with the "girls".  Silver sells best.  A few "special orders" have been fun to make too.

 

Booked the flight to France for 2013 and busy practicing my French once more.  May be back to Italy in 2014 with the KIA.  Wonderful wonderful!!   I am very lucky!!!

A Hot and Happy 4th of July

Here in Portage we were roasting more than corn!  The temp hit 101 here at the lake!!  In spite of the heat the Getting for Prosecutor met on time for the parades both in Schoolcraft and Richland.  The float in Schoolcraft was huge with a big sign about 12' in the air.  We definately stood out from the crowd!!   Kids rode the float and waved flags and the rest of us walked along handing out candy bags (with logo on it of course), candy, and campaign material for Jeff.  At the end we were all hot, sweaty and in need of shade..and glad that the parade was over!!!

 

Back at the lake the boys swam and paddleboated, I piloted the pontoon around the lake..fast, to cool off.  We came back to the dock to find Kris in the water with Ranger.  A barbeque, tubing and watching the fireworks around the lake ended the day, before mosquitos made us take cover. 

 

Hope everyone had a glorious 4th...what a great country..aren't we lucky to live in the USA!!
