We had some special guests pay us a visit
here at A Grain of Sand this week. Sara
and Bill Fishback stopped by to join us in
celebrating Jean’s first son, Wil’s high
school graduation. We had a little
luncheon. . . . any excuse to ask Glenda to
make Banana Puddin’! Alice came by as
well & by the time Jean’s folks left, Alice
gave Jean’s dad a new name. Poor Bill
will be stuck with the name of "Mr. Jean"
forever around here! We all enjoyed
meeting the Fishbacks.
The big news this week is that we will be
attending the
Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee this
