Question for those of you who had little kids at one point -
specifically girls - at what age was it ok for them to start wearing
jewelry? Specifically necklaces.
With everyone so safety conscious and "nothing around their necks" and

At least one person wanted to see what I did with the wire crochet.

We will be leaving tomorrow on vacation and will be gone for three
weeks.  We are going to the mountains, will be with our RV group for the
first week, then go on to another location with a couple for the next
two weeks. We will be about 30 miles from Truckee and Lake Tahoe.

As I remember you live in Alaska, just what area are you in?  We
traveled in our van and trailer in l996 and drove the whole loop, think
in total from home,( Northern Calif.)  8,000 miles. Oh how I loved that
trip and your state, so beautiful!!

I certainly know how important you have been to this group and how loved
by all and I know they all wish you the best with your health issues.
To me it seems like you are the backbone and strive to keep the group
going.  I hope you succeed and maybe we can all help you. Take care ...
