Well, it was a hard week with lots of holiday eating (and drinking :) , but I managed to lose another .25 lb…not much you might say, but definitely better than the alternative and a quarter-pound is equivalent to a stick of butter!

Hope you had a fabulous 4th of July weekend…it rained all afternoon/evening on the 4th in Frederick, so our plans to go to Baker Park for the fireworks were thwarted…I guess we could have gone, but I am not much for sitting in the rain with a park full of people, so when the man nixed the idea I was happy. We improvised and it turned out that our Plan B was more enjoyable in the end. We called up the Crab House, ordered a dozen Maryland Blue crabs, stopped off for a six-pack of St. Pauli Girl, some white corn on the cob, and our own pack of fireworks for the driveway. We had a great time…the man and boy did tribal dances around the fireworks’ showers of sparks!

Another positive for the weekend – I finished 3 necklaces! As soon as I get pictures I will post them here, on YOJ and 2 of them in my shop. The 3rd is a remake of one from private collection…I will have before and after pictures.

Happy Monday – hope you all have a fab week!
