Sad Time Of My Life

It has been a while since I have posted. I have lost a very special lady in my life My Mom. She was so special to me, we talked or saw each other everyday. I counted one day to see how many times she would call me - six in one day! My mom loved my baskets, she would always show me different ones to make. When she was first married she told me how there were basket parties she would attend. I did see the other day her picnic basket. She will be forever in my heart. I Love You Mom.

Manitowish Waters Craft Show

Friday, August 6 headed up north to Manitowish Waters. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine.
At times you get a little addicted to certain baskets, especially when they sell I always state this is my favorite basket. My large storage basket to the right of the photo sold. It found a nice home. My smelly jellies were a big hit especially Monkey Farts, sold out right away.

Have you ever had this feeling driving and thinking I have been here before. When I was a little girl my parents owned a cabin on Van Vliet lake, all of a sudden there was the road! I recall my dad saying go down the road take a P. Meaning take Hwy. P! There it was, I remember always thinking why our last name was not on the little white signs with the arrow. Things sure look different when your a kid, everything now looks so small, even the lake!
