I decided to go back on WW, weighing 159 this morning.

Today was epic. We took Sakura and her boys to the airport in Atlanta but they missed their flight. This train, an accident on I-85, and long lines in security caused it. So, we waited around ATL for 5 hours and then brought them back to Auburn to spend another night.

We got home last night and today I went to see my sisters at my mom's house. They were eating smoked salmon. It's not a great picture, but it's what I have.

It's the fourth of July. I'm wearing a shirt I just finished hand sewing. J is wearing a new outfit!

Dinner tonight at Dan's brother's house and we got a photo of four generations. Dan's parents, us, Jes and Jef and J.

It looks like we are at the Caribbean, but we are actually at Lake Michigan. It was chilly as we walked along the side of it at a park today. Me, Dan, Jes, Baby J, Jef, Panda, and MIL.

Yay! It's Baby J!
This is the cat that was his grandfather's favorite toy.... Who knew it would be played with by three generations. I'm SO happy to be with my baby grand!

We landed in Milwaukee today. On the way from the airport to Dan's parents' house, we stopped at Kopps for a burger!

My mom wanted me to make her a coffee mug that fit under her coffee maker, but also fit in the cup holder in her car, and was also light. I got 2 out of 3. It doesn't fit in her cup holder. But, it's cute!

We are leaving soon for Milwaukee, but before I go, I wanted to make these cats for Sta. She is opening a cat-themed business, and wanted some cat items for her store. Here's Grayson admiring them.

I took some time away from upholstering to teach my nephews, Buddy and Fossie, how to make cheese. It did not turn out well!

Some pieces are done. Dan borrowed a compressor and bought me a hand staple gun that hooks up to it. That should help, because the staple gun we had was killing my hand.

I decided to reupholster the couch, and actually bought the fabric in Anniston when we were there last week. Here I am prying one of thousands of staples out. It was quite difficult and ended up hurting my wrist such that I had to have it in a cast for a week.

I made some little cat figurines for Baby J that spell his name. Here he is playing with them on FaceTime with me!

My first craft fair in a long time. I only had this little folding table... and the bin below... but sold almost $500 worth of mugs!

This is the Little River Canyon. We drove all along it today, and even stopped at a glass blowing place in the middle of nowhere.

This is Russell Cave. It was a home to Native Americans. The water comes up out of a spring. It was so beautiful, peaceful, lush.... and I could imagine children playing below long long ago.

So we decided to rent a cabin in the NE part of the state for a few days. On the drive up, we stopped in Anniston, Alabama, where a monument to the Freedom Riders was painted on the wall next to the old bus stop. It was a shocking story to learn about.

Another craft I'm working on is beeswax candles. Here I am attempting to pour it on this piece of shelf paper so I can make a sheet to roll up into a candle.
