What an exciting summer!!!!!    We've done quite a few shows this year which have kept us very busy. We've also met a lot of new people who we've enjoyed getting to know and who have become our friends.  That's the best part of doing shows.  Doing shows is also very hard work. And I just appreciate my wonderful husband who does so much to make this business work.  Like applying for the shows, making motel reservations, loading and unloading the trailer, setting up and tearing down, being on our feet and selling all day, and the worst part is getting up at 3:30 am so we're at the beginning of the line to set up.  Thank you Terry.

The most exciting happening this summer was that our first Grandbaby was born.   Colby Allen Swartz.    It is better than you can imagine, being a grandparent.  He is so precious!!!   I just can't be with him enough.  Here are some pictures of him.   He has so much hair.   Anthony and Amy are doing fine, and also enjoying their precious little guy.  I'm sure there will be lots of paintings of Colby coming.

Love,  Julia
