Lighting The World
My Daney-boy and his sweetheart Kortney came all the way from Idaho to man a booth at Summerfest.
The company he works for is called Niki-Nu Lites.
Perhaps you’ve heard me brag talk about them before.
See they make these beautiful, incredible lights, in all kinds of colors…
and all kinds of shapes.
Some even have logos…
very IMPORTANT logos.
These lights are so much fun to put together–easier than I thought too.
Of course, people can also buy them already put together…either way.
The booth attracts a lot of attention during the day, because the lights are so unique.
But the minute the sun starts to dip in the west…
these lights simply glow.
People actually gather around just to stare at them and try to figure out what they’re made of…
and how they’re put together.
And of course, my cute boy is right there to show them. Looks like he’s a little light-headed at the moment. HAaahaha.
I crack myself up!
If you happen to be in Provo this week for the 4th of July–please come visit my boy in his Niki-Nu Lites booth at the Freedom Festival.
We’ll all be there to help and cheer and clap…and stare.
Hope to see you there!

Things I Love~
right this minute.
This girl and that guy who came to visit us this week…
yeah, they’re nuts–but they’re just so dang cute.
Hanging quotes up all over the house, sometimes to make a point, and sometimes to remind myself to focus a bit. Works wonders.
A silly kitty that insists on sleeping on my feet every night. Makes me a bit claustrophobic…but it feels nice to have her want to be there too.
A bald guy who still doesn’t want me to take his picture very often…so mostly…I don’t…mostly.
The perfect shade of pink right outside the front door…where it should be so that I can see it first thing.
Breakfast that looks like a TV commercial and tastes even better.
A wrestling match that’s been waiting for years to happen.
Brave little Bishop’s weed under the front window. It grows and grows and pretends that I don’t neglect it at all. Poor thing. 
My favorite TV show in the whole…wide…world…on it’s last season. *sniff-shiff*
The old dude who’s still plugging along. We should probably call him Hopalong Beany.
Speaking the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Color Me Mine
On a whim, we gathered together the moms and dads and kiddos for an evening at the pottery paint shop known as “Color Me Mine.” Perhaps you’ve heard of it. It was my first time and I’ll admit, when I made the reservations–or “booked the studio time” as they say, I was a bit nervous to tell them, first, how big our group was, and second that we had a few kids and a baby. Turned out that they didn’t bat an eye. In fact, the gal said, “Bring ’em. They’ll love it.” And love it they did.
First, we got to choose our piece, be it bowl, mug, bunny or pirate skull–there was something to make everybody happy.
Next we choose our glaze pallets…
from the millions that they had to offer.
Of course, I was looking for my very own pink and purple. Shockeroo, huh?
Then we grabbed a couple of brushes and set off…
To our own little private room.
There was seriously no rush whatsoever.
We just took our time…
and focused…
and worked…
and concentrated…
and personalized…
until…
at last, we couldn’t find another bare spot of clay.
Then, and only then, did we know we were finished.
We turned our masterpieces in to the nice lady behind the counter. She put them all on a tray and told me I could come back and get them on Saturday.
So that’s what we did.
Just hanging out creating cool, very, very much us kind of stuff.
Perfect.
Stay tuned for the fired and finished results of our pottery paint fest…it was dang cool.

Things To LOVE on a Friday
A feathery friend who’s come to visit…for a while.
A quilty work of art hanging on my daughter’s wall…that she designed herself.
A new essential oil diffuser given to me by one of my favorite guys—thanks Rhen!
A piano-playing boogie baby.
The bald head that we waited so long for.
Thin crust, pepperoni pizza on a week night…just because.
My sweet, Cheeto loving kitty.
What are you loving on this wonderful Friday?
