Here is the reader's digest version of the past week, Wednesday taught all day. Gail came over and had a lampwork class. She is from Germany and the sweetest lady, Hi Gail. Then John and Trish came over to take an Art Clay Silver class, and then we went out to dinner with them. Thursday drove to Chicago to pick up more stuff from my father. Went to eat with Dad and Mom and then went to Whole Foods.. We really need one of those right here in Galena :) one of the few things that I miss from there. Friday cleaned beads, packed ebay stuff. Went to the post office and did some house work. Saturday ,, worked at the Bead Bar. Today I did some custom orders for Art clay and packed up more ebay. My batterys on my mouse are dying so it is a true PITA to work on the computer tonight. Have a great night

It is snowing here in Scales Mound, we are suppose to get 2-4 inches. Usually here in the farm vortex we get alot more or not anywhere the amount they say.. :P so we will wait untill tomorrow. I can't complain as we have really had a pretty good winter so far. and it wouldn't do any good anyways lol. Had to do some goat doctoring today and clean and restrawed the barn. Goats can handle cold they just can't handle damp and drafts. I am working on some cool jewelry,, don't know if it will go to the store or up here? I am teaching an art clay class on sunday in the store and a lampworking class in the morning and an art clay class in the afternoon on wednesday. I will then be driving to Chicago on Thursday. so it will be a busy week next week for sure. Have a great one where ever you are.

I have just come to the realization that I have a senistivity to sulfites. I thought for the longest time that I was allergic to wine and shell fish but now after doing alot of research on this I see that it is the sulfites in these products. I was really eating very organically before and have kinda fallen off the wagon. I am getting back on for the new year. Have a great day.
