GAVE ONE, GOT ONE

My two Sues and I had a get together for lunch and a movie. Of course the movie was JULIE AND JULIA.

When we get together we like to give each other little gifts. This is what I made…

They’re bracelets made from old spoons. (My dear friend Mearritta gave me a whole bunch of them)

I pounded them flat with a hammer.

Used my metal alphabet punches to put their names on them. (This is not an easy task!)

Then I drilled a little hole and added a charm, bent the handle around and there you have it… A SPOON BRACELET.

Then I got the cutest things from them. Sue F. just got back from visiting her daughter and family in Indiana and she visited this little Italian place and brought me back this pretty little placemat and pencil that has Italian cities printed on it. (I love pencils.)

See how cute it is all tied with a cute bow and a tag that says, “Bon Appetite”

Thanks gals. I really had a good time!

LIFE GOES ON

On our way to Canada for my Dad’s funeral we stopped at Glacier National Park for a night.

It rained and rained for the last hour of our trip but when we finally arrived it started to clear up a little.

This is the little cabin we stayed at.

At the bottom of the road to our cabin there was a place to rent horses and go on a ride. We didn’t have time but the kids enjoyed them anyway.

They thought it was so much fun to feed them.

The next morning we got up to a beautiful day and spent a few hours driving through the park. It is such a beautiful place.

I love the tour busses. I remember them from when I was a kid and always thought they were so cool.
