Bet you thought I fell off the edge of the earth. Well I’m back. The new job is taxing and has kept me from getting back to you all. I hope all is well in your lives. Christmas is coming soon and I hope all of you have beady plans. Mom and I have a few plans in that area ourselves. We plan to go to the barter faire up north. and a gem show or 2 plus the senior center in November. We will close for all three of these. The faire is on the 17th of October and the others are in November. I thought the experience of the faire would be an eye opener for mom.
