I enjoyed reading about your children and their bikes with decorations. 4th of July parades are lovely old fashioned American practices that our kids never had a chance to participate in so I read, longingly, about the experiences of others. thanks!<br />Grown and FlownMary Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489658223146885851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-79774584088267779102013-07-12T15:44:46.033-05:002013-07-12T15:44:46.033-05:00Yeah, I think the glue did it somehow.

If I'm REALLY bored one day I may try picking some of them off and replacing them with fresh ones and different glue, but it's hard to want to do that if it's just going to happen again.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-3934917163987133822013-07-12T15:42:31.427-05:002013-07-12T15:42:31.427-05:00Oh, and why DO we have a headstone?

There was a single man who lived in our house for 30 years before us (and before two different sets of couples) who had a creative streak and just decided he wanted a headstone for an address marker. So there it is. Quite solid and headstoney. Makes a good landmark in the neighborhood and it's great for Halloween, but otherwise admittedly odd.

Typically they are clear stones with a metal backing. If the glue damages the backing, then the stones won't look the same. A similar thing can happen to mirrors. If they are glued to a wall without special mirror mastic, it can remove the mirrored coating and you will see the glue marks from the front. I heart rhinestones though! Nice work. It takes a lot of time.<br />AnneH in COAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-87217451886679684792013-07-12T10:37:00.588-05:002013-07-12T10:37:00.588-05:00I found when I had a baby in the house that it was...I found when I had a baby in the house that it wasn't just finding time to read, my brain wasn't prepared for it.

So even if he's roasting he says, "But it was the next shirt in the drawer." So I may start checking the weather and rearranging his shirts at night. (My kids in some ways are SO SMART and in other ways REALLY NOT.)Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-42415736386130449662013-07-12T07:24:21.823-05:002013-07-12T07:24:21.823-05:00I love the violin!

I am not sure how it works with the bling stones though. Looked like you had a great 4th! I am sorry about Quinn (even though I had to giggle at your comment that you so gracefully crossed out). <br /><br />I wish I have time to read, and I know I will eventually. It's hard with a little baby that is so super active. More often than not, when I do have free time, I find that I want to sew on my quilt, and get lost in my thoughts. :) Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274322927513770328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-78773330126534125392013-07-12T06:11:02.206-05:002013-07-12T06:11:02.206-05:00From the bottom up:

My guess is the glue, but why that would affect them I have no idea.<br /><br />Aden's little bench is just brilliant!<br /><br />Clematis is the one thing I always manage to kill without fail. Yours is beautiful. Why do you have a headstone out front? I'm intrigued. Also, kudos to the kiddos for keeping their garden up. How fun!<br /><br />Aden's a wonderful big sister. And, yes, it IS so hard when you hit those in-between ages. She'll find her way, as we all had to, but it's such a struggled at times.<br /><br />Poor Quinn. When I taught, we had big, quarter-long projects due at the end of each quarter. You could always tell who had done the work themselves and who had "parental help". :ahem: And then, for them to forget him! :sigh:<br /><br />Mona's bike and that eagle(!)--LOVE the helmet! It definitely gives him a luchador sort of appearance--are all wonderful. I'm chuckling at the sight of your kiddos in long sleeves and such on the Fourth when we were all melting. Hee hee! <br /><br />I'm so glad your book was enjoyable. I'm trying to find time to just sit and read. It's been a while. My mom has asked me to edit her book so I know I'll be doing *some* reading in the coming weeks. ;o)<br /><br />Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328366288947798noreply@blogger.com
