In a nutshell: We finished school at the end of May. The kids did well this past year, and I'm very pleased with their work. They are taking a break from violin for the summer but are still working on their piano lessons. Our daughter is taking swimming lessons to get a little more confident in the water than she is. We are still doing those lessons, and I certainly see improvement in just this short time. They are also taking art lessons this summer.
We went camping for two nights already. It was fun to get away, and we hope to do some more in a few weeks. No big vacation is planned this year--just short camping trips around the state. We really would like to get up to Door County this summer. I see the newest issue of Victoria magazine has a nice article on Door County. They are well deserving of the publicity. It really is pretty and relaxing up there in the "thumb" of Wisconsin.
There have been plenty of parties we've been going to: graduation, birthday, etc. My mother-in-law's 70th is on July 4th, and we are helping with a big celebration for her.
I've been working on many projects. Unfortunately sales have been a little low, but that is to be expected this time of year when there is so much going on and people are putting their money toward vacations and family get-togethers. I've been working on some felt projects (I really do enjoy making felt things) and, of course, my vintage jewelry embellishment projects.
Mom and I are thinking of trying a craft show this fall. She has been in many; I haven't been in any. We're waiting approval. I'm not very good at "production", but if we are approved to be in it, I will need to work on that until November.
Well, I'll try to be more faithful at writing in the days ahead. Happy summer day to you.
