Mermaids & Cyclones

Coney Island has an annual Mermaid Parade. It is way cool.  My friend Carol was having a surprise birthday party on the same day for her husband Joe-at Keyspan Park which happens to be in Coney Island too. You couldn't ask for better views, you can see the old parachute jump and beyond that is the beach.   Did I mention that it was a SURPRISE party and I was on the elevator when he walked on.  Luckily his friend Lou saw me and stood in front of me while I faced the wall and Joe just kept talking to his other friends and never saw me.

OKAY, I haven't been great with keeping up with the blog.  Thanks for reminding me Carla. I'll try harder. I really have been very busy, needless to say, very little jewelry making.  A few charm bracelets for gifts, that's it.  Construction continues-one bathroom is complete.  It's beautiful-thank you, Lynne!  The second bathroom project will probably start over the next week, once all the materials arrives.  Last week I went with my friends family to Iowa, actually to the Quad Cities for an engagement party. Congrats to Joe and Angie.  It was the hardest thing remembering when we were in Illinois and when we were in Iowa. My friend Linda lives in Oquawaka, Ill., we met a few years back at a class we had both taken with Keith LoBue. She drove in to meet up with me and we got to spend a few hours together- it's wonderful hooking up with art buddies.

Unfortunately I came back to my Aunt Nancy passing.  In April, I had mentioned that we celebrated her 87th birthday. She was the middle sister, there were seven sisters, now there is one.  They all survived the Holocaust, and eventually reunited.  I don't think I realized, until I was an adult, what a miracle that was.
