This Little Lady Went to Market

Nothing puts a smile on my face like lower peninsula sugar cookies, tie-dyed roses, and shelled framed Mary and Jesus images. Here's to you Eastern Market: happily reminding this U.P. transplant of the bright colors and images that can be found around the Detroit area.
I went home with 4 burlap rice bags, a cork lamp inspiration idea, and my new favorite snack: vegetable chips from Rocky's.

A Rhyme: Two Harbors Light

Two Harbors Light. It was red. A bed and breakfast. You had to pay to go see it. We did not. So these are the only pictoral shots I got.

Superior Skipping Stones

*disclaimer: blogger is not letting me upload photos...blah, this is all I can give you.


I am proud to say I have learned the art of stone skipping. Yes, I still have some kerplunkers, but it was a day of double skippers and some special 5 skippers. Bits did his share of double skips, by taking two stones, one in each hand and splashing them. Mike, a master stone skipper, skipped his stones across the river to bounce back onto the opposite shore. Cool factor increased for him.


I collected pocketfuls of stones, with right size, shape, and weight appropriate for superb skipping, and later to be used in some of my "yup" pieces. I can skip stones, can you?
