It's good to be Queen!

Claire can take them apart
almost as fast as I can put them together :-)
Kim was named Queen of Wilson
Sarah and me giving the Royal wave.
Once upon a time in a far away land called childhood we had POP BEADS. Everyone had them, they came in a plethora of colors and you could mix and match them with your outfit of the day. When we got to Colorado, I found my granddaughters have POP BEADS! Of course the beads of today are much more intricate with attachments for dangling beads, and bases for rings and bracelets. They have flowers and centers which Claire calls "berries" because, that's what they look like ~ small raspberries or blackberries, but in a choice of colors. What did we do almost as soon as we arrived? We made jewelry and I was named Queen Mother. Sarah and Claire are princesses. Kim is Queen of Wilson. When they say they want to "ring you" or "bracelet you" it means their creation is ready for wearing and you should put it on. Photo of Jennifer, Queen of Willenbrecht is unavailable due to the fact that she was busy preparing the royal meal and snapping photos.

I love reading your blog. You just use such fun words!

Veteran’s Day in America Buck and Chuck were Navy Seabees,  Their dad was Navy Fleet.  Apparently VERY different.  Had to get some work done...
