How could I be so dumb.......

Well, I have a latex allergy.  I know this.  I avoid latex bandages, gloves, don't chew gum because I have a reaction to it just like latex (rubber in gum???), don't wear my wonderful favorite summer thongs (shoe kind :), and won't wear watches with rubber straps.
I've been having a reaction for over a month now......just about the time I quit wearing my boots and began wearing my beloved, expensive, and fantastically comfortable Earth sandals.  With the RUBBER footbeds....Duh!!!!!

Everyone reacts differently to things.  Lucky me, my face breaks out like a teeny bopper.........and I'm 63 yrs old!!!!!  And NOW I have to give away 8 pair of the most wonderful Keen, Earth, and Chaco sandals.  I pride myself in my collection :(

But I'm willing to give it up and resort to leather sandals if my reaction will go away.  Still.....I'm bummed!

Good thing I have daughters and granddaughters that have been just wishing they could get their cute little feet into those sandals.

I shant give up on blogging.....

Wow, a month has gone by.  And I love to write!
I spent a week in Texas as a jeweler for Premier Designs Jewelry.  I love it!
I spent a week with daughter and grandkids having soooo much fun.  They came to the ranch and we boated and rode horses and bbqed and laughed and talked and hugged and loved being together.  It was wonderful.  They went home two days ago and I'm missing them a lot.
I fell and smashed my leg pretty good on a tree trunk/limb but looking at the bright side I'm sooo glad I didn't break my leg.  It will be good as  new in a couple of weeks.
I'm loving my photography as much as ever and excited about my future with it.
We're looking forward to the upcoming rodeo and my photgraphy there and seeing old friends.
Cooper's eye is a little better but he's likely blind for good in it now.  Might have it removed one day before too long.  I want him comfortable.
I'm thankful for my Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ.  And the Holy Ghost.....what a wonderful gift.  I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation.  I love my family!
I'm very blessed in this life and I only hope I don't dissapoint them too much with my imperfections.
Good night and I'll try to write more often....and post some of those fun vacation photos.
