Successful Jewelry Making!

We gathered at Peg's for a simple afternoon/evening of jewelry making...with our wonderful teacher Mary Ann!  A simple afternoon/evening turned into 6 hours of strenuous work!!  Wow - it is difficult to make a necklace!!!  But I think everyone who came to learn how to bead ended up with some really nice pieces of jewelry - earrings, bracelets, necklaces, wine charms!!  And Dave even joined in and got the drill going so we could incorporate some beach glass into the pieces!  Thank you Mary Ann, Peg & Dave!!! 
Modeling our works of art!!!

Still working out the kinks!!!

Hello Family!
I am still trying to work the kinks out for this blog!!  But I'm hoping it will work!  I think I will send each of you an invite to be able to write your own postings...then maybe once a month I will send a reminder to check the blog and summarize what has been posted...that is if we start to use it!
Use it for everything I used the newsletter for...new jobs, someone moving, post pictures, or just to ramble!!  For example...this picture is one I took recently at Lakeview Cemetery!  Kathy & I went there 2 Sundays ago and spent a little over 3 hours just taking pictures...it was a beautiful day and I think both of us were able to get some really good shots!  It's such a great place to take pictures!
That's it for now...I'll send out an invite so that you can all be "authors" on our family blog!!!

Arizona!


Took this picture in honor of Dad.  Lots of Cats being used on road construction!



I went to Tucson last week to visit Muggsi, who moved there about a year and a half ago.  We spent lots of time hiking, birdwatching (23 life birds!), looking at wildflowers; the desert was in complete bloom from all the rains they had recently. 
We went to mass on Mom's birthday at the Mission of San Xavier.  This church was built in the 1600's by the Jesuits.  It is situated on an Indian Reservation about a half hour south of Tucson.  The mass was wonderful, it was so good to be in the beautiful church and think of Mom on her birthday.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!!! As you know last Thursday, April 8, was mom's birthday. There was a memorial Mass on Friday at St. Augustine's. It was beautiful mass. Fr. Joe talked about mom in the homily...it was wonderful to have Fr. Joe say the Mass because he knew mom and was able to make this mass more personal for us!
