I did not disappear....

Hard to believe my last post was July 4th...or something like that...

well alot has happened...I was selling my work at the farmers market in Manteo NC but some one decided I was a threat to them ..

That resulted in Me having to get a JOB...aka the "REAL JOB"

well I applied for a job at one of the funnest , little gift shops on the outer banks ...called Something Fishy ....it is good pay ...but the hours are long and because of it I have been too tired to be creative ...10 hours a day...it reminds me of when I ran my store...except the hassles...of it all.

I can merchandise the place...deal with the nice customers...

But I MISS being creative....in my art so hopefully I can do something about that soon......

right now what little time I have trying to organize the downstairs studio

bought cabinets family laughing saying I will never get it done ...

maybe but never know can only try ....

when daughter moves out next month I will move studio to her room .... and make the guest room upstairs....She received her grants for college and will start the Professional Jewelry making Associates degree...for the next two years....

Hoping things will calm down when she moves out...

Independence.....????

Our we ever really independent ....we grow up become adults but there are few who can walk this life totally alone... we depend on a doctor to bring us into this world ...we depend on our parents and family to raise us up to be respectable...kind...loveing ..human beings. We depend on our friends to support us and help in times of need as they depend on us to do the same. WE DEPEND on GOD to bless us and let us grow to a wonderful old age enjoying our lives and living through the trials and tribulations of life...and then when the end comes ...we have been raised to depend on the pearly gates opening and letting us into heaven ...as all our sins of the life we led have been washed away by the blood of CHRIST.

so we are never really independent...and isn't it a wonderful thing...

Today we depend on the soldiers fighting around the world to keep us safe from terrorists who do not believe we should live...they do not know what a happy life is ....So on this day I salute those men and women...many too young and some too old who fight to keep us safe


Today we walk this world we live..
because soldiers gave all they had to give...
they made the sacrifices of Life or Limb
So today we stand in a Free land...
So remember why we Celebrate Independence Day
and proudly watch our majestic flag wave...
It is because someone refused to see us suffer in a country
where GOD did not live because they gave all they had to GIVE
GOD BLESS US ALL and
Keep US FREE and BLESS the Ones whom we cannot see.
