Wedding Rings

 Due to Butch's job, he could not wear his wedding ring much. After he retired, he wore it more. My ring would fit inside his, and when I noticed this, I came up with the idea of having them attached and wear them as a necklace.  I brought both rings with me because I knew there was a jeweler at the DonWes flea market. Of course, I procrastinated. But when Lil Droogsma came to visit me, I asked her about it. Lil and her husband, Ray, had a booth at DonWes for many years. She told me about Phil Walker, also with a booth at DonWes, and said he was very good. Lil did the legwork for me, and I now have the necklace pictured below. It turned out beautifully!

Another change for me is about my beading endeavor. I am now able to create the projects I had in mind. Pictured below are two sets of earrings. I timed myself and found I can make one of these style earrings in 1 1/2 hours.

Other stuff: We are in the busiest time of each season. If a person participated in every activity, they would need hospitalization. It is too much for this old lady to even attempt, and truth be known, I am quite happy to be a hermit. I pick and choose carefully.

We will now be seeing the exodus back home. By mid-march, the number of people in the park is much less, and this coincides with the number of activities that end for the season.  It is still cold back there, and I am happy with the weather here.

Till next time...
