So thankful to share I found a perfect resting place for my Dads ashes. A beautiful solid American cherry wood engraved urn box. It has a laser engraving of a hummingbird with flowers.

He was always making me laugh and found humor in difficult circumstances. He did not take things too seriously, at least when he talked with me and my sister. His eyes were sky blue like the brightest blue sky. I miss his silly sense of humor, laughing, and talking to him.

Many years ago we had to move away from Texas to Oklahoma. My loving friend Susan gave me a blown glass humming bird with flowers.

For Mothers Dad one year my Dad gave me a very special gift, a tea cup and saucer set with humming birds on it. He didn’t know how humming birds meant Gods love to me.

I love and miss you Daddy!!

Creation Museum

• The Creation Museum, located in Petersburg, Kentucky, United States, is a museum that promotes a pseudoscientific, young Earth creationist explanation of the origin of the universe based on a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative in the Bible.
• We had a wonderful time. Its a huge really beautiful place! I had to sit down rest a lot because problems with arthritis and really out of shape. Here are some pictures from our trip. Great for adults, teens, and kids something fun for everyone any age. The museum has beautiful botanical gardens, large petting zoo and playground, zip line, dining venues, many exhibits, free shows and alot more. 2021 prices are kids 10 years and under free admission, adults 39.95. Its pricey but was worth it to us.

Botanical Gardens

My grandson Calvary loves animals!

This was a mining sluice for rinsing of a bag of rocks to find gemstones and learn about geology.

New 2020 and 2021 Jewelry Creations

www.etsy.com/shop/beadswithmanycolors Focusing on something you like to do is great mentally. What have you been doing fun during this pandemic? I have had lots of time on my hands, so I decided to start making jewelry again. My inspiration is mostly from youtube videos. I am learning new ways to make jewelry with cord and feathers. Its a lot of fun! I have been collecting beads for a long time, so now its time to make and create! I got most new beads and supplies from Walmart and Hobby Lobby on line. One of my favorite things to make is stretch bracelets for men, women, and teens. I also was excited to find Brazilian wax cord to make my beaded necklaces, because most cord is too wide to fit into bead holes. Hope you are not sleeping all day like I was. Bye keep your creativity alive! My Jewelry Shop

God loves Color

Not all tree’s are light green. Not all tree’s are dark green. They are dark, light, and everything in between. That is what God’s creation is all about 😀 He loves different color in his creation and different color of people ❤

Vallecito Lake

Beautiful breathtaking views! It is located 20 miles north-east of Durango Colorado.

In 2002 over 70,000 acres were burned near the city of Durango. Over 4,000 firefighters helped. Fourteen 18 feet tall carvings were made to help tourism to Vallecito Lake.

We stayed at Lone Wolf Cabins. A great place to enjoy a slower pace of life and get some much needed R&R!! So amazing!!
