Bead Soup...And Life and more...

Hello to anyone and everyone who has stopped by. 


My bead soup creations are done.


Life happens.  And Death. 


My father-in-law has died.  He was 73 years young.  He was a husband, father, grandfather and friend.  He was a business man, a hard worker and served in the Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis.  He was very patriotic...flying his American Flag every day.  He was a proud man...he took great pride in his family and his business that his father founded in 1947.  He was meticulous with his trucks and equipment (he had an excavating company), which carried through to his customers and contractors.  He had many business relationships that turned into lifelong friendships.  He was a member and past commander of the local American Legion Post.  He enjoyed hunting, NASCAR racing, riding his Harley motorcycle and having a drink or two of Jack Daniels.  He was a talented machinist.  And he was my father-in-law.  And he was Pap-Pap to my boys.


We'll miss you, Pap.






If you would, please check back. 
I will have my pictures up by Monday night.
I hope to see you then.
Thank you.


Hugs to all,
Cheryl
