Crazy Month

This month has been totally crazy.  Started out sick and in no mood to visit my jewelry cave.  Then I had a day long meeting out of town for DAR the first Saturday of the month.  The next Saturday was the vendor/craft fair.  Now I'm busy getting costumes ready for a Women's Veterans parade in Mt. Vernon, IL, this Saturday.

We will have a float in the parade and have several women veterans that have volunteered to ride the float.  Some of them don't have period costumes so a few of us have been busy getting costumes made for them.

At the end of the parade there will be a dedication ceremony for a statue representing women veterans from the Revolutionary War to Present Day.  I've got my camera ready to go and hope to get a lot of pictures to post and remember this day.

Next weekend I'll be cleaning a house I haven't touched in a while.  We'll have several family members visiting from out of town for the July 4th weekend.  There is a flag dedication in Godfrey July 1st.  Then the rest of the weekend is going to be spent sight seeing.

Once July comes around it will seem strange not to be running every weekend.  I'm looking forward to it.  There are several new to me jewelry lessons I want to try.  All the stuff I've been thinking of trying has been put on the back burner while all this other stuff is going on.
