It is amazing, once again since the weather is warmer we are all happier, go figure! The yard is green, the garden is planted, there are little animals everywhere. At times like this I always think to myself, Wisconsin is pretty cool! Really nice people, nice downtown area where I work, a supportive community that buys my stuff. I see more people all the time that wear either Maple Marie jewelry or some of my unique pieces. I have two big events planned for summer and fall. Life is good.
Last week my friend Steve Carter invited Mike and I to join him in Chicago for a cool event for people who are trying to get their small business off the ground. The first day was kind of a "did we do the right thing by coming?" and then Sunday the barn doors flew open with information and hope for Mike and I. It's really basic stuff that I've heard over and over again, but it was what Mike and I wanted and needed to hear. I'm going to make a prophetic statement here, by 2012 Mike and I will have conquered a big dragon/monster/troll in our lives and I'm so impatient and curious to see how this turns out. Stay Tuned.
Back to June in Orange County, JULIA IS GETTING MARRIED TO TIM! Have you ever been invited to an event that you really were kind of dragging your feet to go to, well, this is NOT the one...I love Julia and Tim and Deena and Tom and Dan and Melissa and oh well, everyone! I've got a new dress that will cover most of my trouble spots and I plan on having a great time! Isabel and Sam and Mike and I are not only going to a beautiful wedding we are going on our first vacation in 4 years out of Wisconsin together.
This was my Mother's Day meal prepared by Sam, Shells with Alfredo sauce, Hot Dog Octopus and Fish Crackers...it doesn't get any better that this.
