Latest update on Krystal

Well, we received good news and bad news on our puppy. For those who haven't known us yet, we are, in our opinion, the the biggest animal slobs around. Jay feeds the strays on our porch, front and back, we have too many cats to mention and ONE big old Saint Bernard, Krystal.

In April, a day before Jays birthday, Kristal turned 12! Can you believe it, a 12 year old, 140# Saint. So, she's been moving kinda slow and our daughter in law took her to the vets for another checkup. Her heart, blood and other tests are fine, but she only has perephial vision and the vet things in a few weeks she'll lose her vision. That's sad, but hey, she woofed down a doublecheese burger tonight in record time, found it and sucked it down! Her nose works fine!!!!

Now she's looking for Jay to cook her eggs!

Oh yea, she hasn't stepped on any cats, isn't he lucky?

Happy graduation to all the graduates and parents!

This weekend is the BIG event for Northwestern graduates. Congratulation on a job well done! And to all the parents of students who will be or have recently graduated, pat yourself on the back for climbing and overcoming a great feat.

Adelia has always done our part to help you guys. Remember when you come in to show us your college id's and you'll automatically receive 10% off any of your purchases. Hint, Moms, bring the kid along and have them pay, this way you can save also. High School grads who haven't yet received the college id, just bring in and show off your diploma. yup, you'll get to stamp Adelia too!

For those of you who love our $7.00 table, we will be getting that in shortly. But, be aware, the price has gone up to $8.00 a strand. Seems the price of fuel and shipping from the manufacturer to us has really climbed. It goes from mining, to the lapidary shops to the ocean container, to the shipper and over to our store. You'll notice we can save you money by purchasing directly from the manufacturer and cutting out one layer. This is how we pass the savings on to you.

This summer i've signed up to be at the Glenview Summer Fest and the Edison Park festival. If your planning on going to these, stop by and say hi! (Jay will be tending to the booths, if you haven't met him yet, make it a point)
