A new "do"


Those of you who know me well realize that I've had the same basic hair cut for years. I finally got it cut the other day. This is a not a great picture but it shows my shorter hair. As I told Marsha while she was in Paris, tres chic?

Another Adventure?







My friend Terri introduced me to making beaded jewelry. I do not consider myself a creative person. Being oriented towards numbers and system designs does not seem creative to me. How could I know that I would enjoy putting glass and ceramic beads together so much? These pictures show some of my work and my display at the local farmer's market. I haven't sold much, but have met some really interesting people and tried to sweat off about 20 pounds (I wish) sitting in the heat. I have introduced another friend to beading and she really likes it too. I keep telling Terri that we're a pyramid marketing scheme, she says no one is getting paid for their "up-line" so who cares. Bruce and Doug help set up, then they disappear til it's time to go home, but I sure appreciate their help. So far, I've sold six pieces. Not taking the world by storm. I enjoy it, so that will have to be enough.

Doug the shootist


Doug went to Orlando last week with the Meadows. They went skeet shooting. This was Doug's first time to handle a gun and seemed to do very well.
