Grand Marais July 4th Celebration

First of all I would like to apologize for the busy schedule and the fact that I have not squeezed in enough time to update the blog. Now that the museum, lecture, and Kid's Science Camp programs are ready and the July 4th holiday is over, I'll get back into somewhat of a routine. I had a blast over the weekend with my only uncle and aunt (Lynne and Doug Kane), friend Marsha Hendrickson, and the Phillips family.

One bit of good news as some of you know is that I was FINALLY able to pick up the new agate book last week -- just in time for the July 4th weekend. I'm sure the almost 200 customers that were on back order including my contacts and those of my book distributor)were glad to get their shipments before the holiday. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please visit my web page wwww.agatelady.com -- or stop by the museum.

Pictured below is the shipment of books that were still on the pallet. I filled up my car with almost 1,200 copies. I'm sure that the weight exceeded what is good for the car's suspension.



I have a lot of photos to catch up with in terms of the blog update. I'll start, however, with the July 4th pictures. I love taking shots of the fireworks. Some of the better photos are included below. Tomorrow I'll include pictures of the parade.
