I took a break from 9 house sitting/pet sitting jobs and bolted to Maryland. Here I am in Annapolis wearing my favorite cowboy boots. I aquired them while checking on my land in Nevada. My mouth is moving in the pic cuz I’m telling my 82 year old uncle how to use my smartphone 😛

And as you can see. I am still making porcupine quill jewelry. I dragged my jewelry to three shows last week. I have another in Dixon Illinois Saturday May 11th. And I am excited to announce that I will be bringing my Alaska Porcupine Quill jewelry AND my bagpipe to the Festival Of Cultures in Billings Montana June 9 2013!!
While in Maryland I explored my roots and found the tombstones for several of my great great grandparents. And in the world of amazing technology I was able to access ancestry.com and instantly upload pics of the gravestones to the website. Amazing
And for those of you near Pecatonica Illinois (Northern illinois) don’t forget The Pec Thing is May 18 & 19. however one can buy an early bird ticket and go in MAy 17 while we set up. And buy all the vintage collectibles I priced wrong. haha Serioulsy, every time I see this Dean guy coming and he picks something up and buys it without haggling I think “Oh sh*t” . The Pec Thing is antiques, vintage, and stuff. Lots of vendors.
I’ll be in the sheep building towards the rear of the flea market. Yes I will have the quill stuff too. Baaaa
My favorite Tavern in the USA
“Middleton Tavern was host to a galaxy of the nation’s most revered leaders during the period following the American Revolution. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were numbered among its prominent patrons.”
History and oyster shooters and a crab cake sandwhich! ahhh
More of its history –
And for the questions I have gotten lately. Am I going back to Alaska this summer? Maybe not. I’ll be a few weeks on the road in Montana – hoping to camp at Glacier NAtl Park too. And I am taking my youngest on a cruise. A real cruise, not a ‘Gypsy sleeping on the deck of a ship in her tent like last year’. ha. Even though that was fun!
Am I competing with the Bagpipe band? Not for Springfield, Milwaukee, or Chicago’s Highland Games. I will consider Waukesha.
I will be marching in the Memorial Day Parade and Fourth of July for Rockford Illinois. And I plan on the concert on the park in Belvedere.
That’s all for now. Send a comment if I missed anything.
