I have had an idea for a children's book series for many years but insecurities and fear kept me from pursuing it. I also have always had a love of painting but again the "I'm not good enough" would hold me back until now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the year that I would set those fears aside to write and paint. Rocketman was a huge help, scanning my watercolor pages and adding the text plus going through all the hoops to get it listed on Amazon. We are so proud that it's now available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/We-Were-Made-Each-Other-ebook/dp/B07628Y8W4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508265399&sr=8-1&keywords=becky+lynn" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. You may notice that I didn't use "Becky Meverden." I wanted a name that is easy to remember so I dropped the Meverden and added my middle name Lynn. </div>

This is a separate book from the series I mentioned above. I have four books waiting for Rocketman to scan and add the text. I also have ideas for an additional 12. The ideas are just pouring in and I'm writing them down so I don't forget. It's been a busy but amazing year and I can't wait to share more with you.<br />

Hi everyone!! Sorry for the break from blogging. These days I tend to post on Instagram and Facebook and have let the blog go. I still find so much joy in crafting but I also love to read. I have always loved books but I found the last few years I've been reading less and less so I changed that up this year with making more time to read.<br />
<br />
I also decided to get a head start on Christmas and wanted to make everyone homemade Christmas ornaments. I found this darling felted Christmas pattern by Gingermelon. You can find the pattern <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/172023248/gingerbread-houses-instant-download-pdf?ref=shop_home_active_15" target="_blank">here</a>. Although, I hadn't worked with felt since the 70's or 80's, I didn't let that deter me. Shelly's patterns were so easy to follow and she also sells the felt which made it even better. The above photo is her Christmas tree pattern.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxqwAA2UA-GzaGYKtjPEUbTJ-abKLPkC7fbIyxAl8YoA4CK7bNaTQCDCIHl1k19aivCtJ3kqcfrUxzNVkSsWR_lT99PHSlGdIf_nQNOpPQ0gIaue5dccs8f4FjmUGVWnEhCKA1lZwMxQa/s1600/IMG_5015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxqwAA2UA-GzaGYKtjPEUbTJ-abKLPkC7fbIyxAl8YoA4CK7bNaTQCDCIHl1k19aivCtJ3kqcfrUxzNVkSsWR_lT99PHSlGdIf_nQNOpPQ0gIaue5dccs8f4FjmUGVWnEhCKA1lZwMxQa/s640/IMG_5015.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
And these are the houses. I am so happy with how they turned out. It is definitely slow stitching since everything is hand stitched. My stitches aren't perfect but everyone will know that they were made with love. I ended up enlarging the pattern by 130% which was a size I was comfortable working on. I am waiting for more felt from Gingermelon so I can make these <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/258912150/snowbies-pdf-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Snowbies</a>. You can check out all of her patterns in her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Gingermelon?ref=condensed_trust_header_title_items" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>.<br />
<br />
I have taken a long break from working on my children's books but I'm ready to get that going. I have two books completed with illustrations. I'm just waiting for Rocketman to have time to scan the pages and add the text. Work is keeping him swamped right now. I have an additional two books sketched out waiting for me to paint and a couple more written but waiting for me to sketch.<br />
<br />
So a lot going on along with spending time with the kids and all the grandboys. They are growing so fast and we love and appreciate every minute we have with family.

This was another Christmas present the grandboys made for their momma. I already had everything required in my craft supplies. What you need to make one is: wooden bracelet, pencil, sharpies and Mod Podge. Bracelets above from left to right: Noah's, Ezra's and Judah's. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzgHho9YiB_ApUFM_Y06oCiNDJE9NhFCd5gru5OYjdQ6rtLe02tfrDU97i2OyHe3dpEsZysRZKSXBXPoIvAekyV3qjxea_XrYMXHTv3_0wxMEPC-kGVQORvtDErzRtlkO6wRUMHhqgXIYT/s1600/IMG_2737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzgHho9YiB_ApUFM_Y06oCiNDJE9NhFCd5gru5OYjdQ6rtLe02tfrDU97i2OyHe3dpEsZysRZKSXBXPoIvAekyV3qjxea_XrYMXHTv3_0wxMEPC-kGVQORvtDErzRtlkO6wRUMHhqgXIYT/s640/IMG_2737.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

Noah wanted to freeform it so he skipped this step. Judah did too because he wasn't quite 3 so I had to really keep an eye on him when he used the Sharpies. This is Ezra's bracelet design. First I had him sketch his drawing in case he made a mistake it would be easy to erase.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then traced his design with a black Sharpie.<br />

Then I had the two older boys sign their name on the inside of the bracelet. I coated the bracelets with two coats of Mod Podge. On Christmas day, momma opened their gifts and loved them. It was a really fun way to wear a piece of art.<br />

I was trying to think of a crafty project the grandboys could make for their momma for Christmas. Their momma loves to journal. It's something she has been doing since she was 10 years old and so she is always in need of journals. She loves to use spiral notebooks but I had a hard time finding them with paper not plastic covers. I did finally find some at Office Depot.<br />
<br />
I pulled out my box of stickers to use to decorate the notebooks. But it turned out the only one interested was Ezra so he was the one to decorate all the notebooks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO6BNtFxXC742-v0y2wXrQeyYh3U9XHq8-okjbzZDYXtYkJ-Gaeo7U2O1UizI_XIwyV9Wa3Stva5o6YKRrsbL4D9S3E7JWuWHH2Z28E0zNqsvwBg2W2ifkHf178_3kJ6e0LPnBNSqzbmFc/s1600/IMG_4322.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO6BNtFxXC742-v0y2wXrQeyYh3U9XHq8-okjbzZDYXtYkJ-Gaeo7U2O1UizI_XIwyV9Wa3Stva5o6YKRrsbL4D9S3E7JWuWHH2Z28E0zNqsvwBg2W2ifkHf178_3kJ6e0LPnBNSqzbmFc/s640/IMG_4322.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
He had a definite plan for each one and carefully went through all my stickers looking for the perfect ones. He also wrote "Mommy" on each notebook so she would know that these were hers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2CtvAku7YhvvgmAsZgMYSdEh32bV_5uePIDYk4kVsRRe4Ycf4EON8KhT2s4SwfjwSmiBlrSoXyWvxaUEBfl90FqqwLFFjmfUP_LY6SXxSQYJm5N9xqM6W4J3xCZ_KvR8VYEwbng0hzoWm/s1600/IMG_4339.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2CtvAku7YhvvgmAsZgMYSdEh32bV_5uePIDYk4kVsRRe4Ycf4EON8KhT2s4SwfjwSmiBlrSoXyWvxaUEBfl90FqqwLFFjmfUP_LY6SXxSQYJm5N9xqM6W4J3xCZ_KvR8VYEwbng0hzoWm/s640/IMG_4339.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
Here are the finished notebooks. If you noticed, he also wanted his name on each one. But we ran into a big problem. The alphabet stickers we were using only had two "Z"s and he needed three to get his name onto each notebook. What to do? <br />
<br />
I was totally shocked when Ezra solved the problem by taken an "N" and turning it sideways to make it a "Z." This kid truly is amazing. Here is a video a took of him explaining his process.<br />

I'm sure you have noticed I haven't blogged for a few months. Our family has been dealing with a lot of heartbreaking family matters. Our daughter left her husband in January and the divorce which just became final last Friday has been devastating on our entire family. My emotions throughout the year have been all over the place and I have learned tremendous lessons about myself this year. <br />
<br />
We just want our daughter and grandsons to be safe, happy and that the grandboys have a wonderful loving and nurturing relationship with both of their parents. Children need both of their parents along with grandparents. I have hope that someday we can all be friends again and that we can all watch these precious grandchildren grow and thrive in this new normal. <br />
<br />
This year has also been a year of honing my psychic skills. I saw things coming and was able to warn my daughter so she was prepared. We all are here on earth to learn lessons but you have the choice whether you want to do the hard work or not. The future is also not set in stone. <br />
<br />
So for now, I am happy for my daughter and her new life that it will be full of joy. What she has been through the last 14 years is not my story to tell but I am encouraging her to write a book on her experiences. It will empower many, many woman in difficult relationships.

Last Thursday I went with a couple of my besties to the <a href="http://www.thepalmerhousehotel.com/" target="_blank">Palmer Hotel</a> in Sauk Centre, Minnesota to spend a night. It is the most poplar place in Minnesota for ghost sightings. It was also featured on an episode of The Travel Channel's "Ghost Hunters." The owner, Kelley, has an amazing story where she dug up human remains in the basement of the hotel based on a random phone call from a stranger. <br />

The hotel is located in downtown Sauk Centre in a beautiful brick building built in 1901. <br />

This is the entrance of the hotel and it was like stepping back in time. The ceiling tiles were so cool too.<br />

We arrived about an hour early for check in and spent time in the attached bar eating delicious appetizers. We also decided to take the hotel tour of the basement which started at 7 pm and ended at 9 pm. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Dn0Bm2nlunRFGpeZF-3zH9Dv46s0uBSTXkRd7Qn7AA5VL9IB6vNp4s-xdo0_9GmZAikML8biOg5L2lZLcgNZWlPz4ijyw32IF8K7LtxqkOTSQzuVvkSG7ZB6hk9FgsHo79_ZlknkXUM/s1600/IMG_2672.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Dn0Bm2nlunRFGpeZF-3zH9Dv46s0uBSTXkRd7Qn7AA5VL9IB6vNp4s-xdo0_9GmZAikML8biOg5L2lZLcgNZWlPz4ijyw32IF8K7LtxqkOTSQzuVvkSG7ZB6hk9FgsHo79_ZlknkXUM/s640/IMG_2672.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
The first hour of the tour was a history of the hotel. Kelley, the owner of the hotel also participated in the talk and shared a lot of amazing stories of ghostly encounters and strange happenings. The very first thing I noticed during the talk was this ceramic ghost. My late mother-in-law was into ceramics in the 1980's and made me this exact ghost as a gift one year. A few years ago it fell and broke but I always loved it. When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was my mother-in-law and this was a sign to me. <br />
<br />

We carefully made our way into the basement into one of the many rooms down there. They told us that we may see, hear, feel or even smell paranormal activity and to be sensitive to all of our senses. They turned out the lights and we went around the room introducing ourselves and what we wished to experience. <br />
<br />
When it came to my turn after I introduced myself I said that I wouldn't mind if Prince stopped by and played a few bars of "Little Red Corvette." The room filled with laughter and Kelley said that my request for Prince was a first for the tour. They also had a small mag flashlight that they placed on the floor and it would occasionally flick off and on. They said that spirits were making the flashlight come on and off. My friend Lynn and I did not feel it was spirit at all and when I returned home I did find <a href="http://doubtfulnews.com/2012/03/news-flash-ghost-hunters-flashlight-trick-is-not-paranormal-explanation-revealed/" target="_blank">this </a>on the internet. We did have one participant that felt a lot of spirits but the rest of us did not. <br />
<br />
We went into a second room and sat down. Again as in the previous room, Lynn and I didn't feel there were any spirits there. We had preordered our dinner since the kitchen closed at 9 pm earlier and I was surprised when we were told the food was ready and it was 9:20. We left at that time to eat but the rest of the group continued.<br />

I had a Reuben and it was amazing. Lynn and JoAnn both had a pasta dish and they were equally impressed with the cooking. Remember what I mentioned above about Prince? There was music playing in the bar as we were eating and what song came on but "When Dove Flies" by Prince. Lynn and I looked at each other with our mouths wide open. How about that! I thanked Prince for stopping by.<br />

Lynn, myself and JoAnn, GHOSTBUSTERS!<br />
<br />
While we didn't encounter any spirits, I cannot deny what others have experienced. I do believe and have experiences lots of spirit encounters. I've honed my psychic abilities in the last few years and it has thinned the veil for me to be able to communicate with those that have passed on.<br />
<br />
I personally do not believe that you can "call" on spirits (ghosts) to come and perform. Whenever I've had an encounter, it's been out of my control and they have almost always come with a message for me or one of my loved ones. But I know a lot of people especially with all the television shows on ghosts are very interested in the subject. I also feel if people pay hoping to have an encounter like at the Palmer Hotel, they expect to have one and therefore I can understand the use of the flashlight trick. <br />
<br />
I had a strange kitty encounter while at the Palmer Hotel. Lynn and I were in the parking lot getting our things out of my car when a black and white kitten came running up to me and rubbing all over my legs. There were kitchen workers that happen to be out back on a little deck and they said they had never seen this kitten before but they were feeding it chicken from the kitchen. Yet, the kitten left the food to snuggle up to me. When I bent down to pet her, she seems so very light although she didn't seem like a stray. Definitely not a feral kitten. <br />
<br />
Lynn was telling me I had to take her home. Rocketman would have killed me and Louie would have too. He does not like other cats and in the past has refused to eat and gotten very sick if we babysat someone's kitty. But I agreed if the kitty was still the next morning when we left, I would take her home. Luckily, the kitten never appeared. But we heard about a kitty ghost that people have seen and that walks on your bed at night in the hotel. I'm wondering now if maybe we saw the ghost kitty. We will never know.<br />
<br />
We had such a great time and I would highly recommend a visit to the Palmer House. The stories and the history are so fascinating. The food was also fantastic!<br />
<br />
On the subject of spirits, I will share an encounter I had with an orb last November. Rocketman was out of town and I was trying to sleep when it appeared in our bedroom. We have darkening shades which were down and there was no light anywhere in the room. It was the first time I had seen an orb in person and I grabbed my IPhone to video it.<br />

There is a small lighthouse in Grand Marais and it is located downtown. It was great that our hotel was close enough that everything in downtown was a quick walk. <br />

The walkway to the lighthouse was very narrow in places so when you met others going the opposite way it was a little scary getting around each other.<br />

The Coast Guard station's roof reminded me of the movie "The Birds" only instead of crows it was seagulls. It was the perfect weekend and the weather could not have been better. We definitely want to visit again.<br />
<br />
On our drive up we came upon a driver weaving between the shoulder and the lane. In the old days I would have thought the driver was drunk but these days I always assume they are texting or looking at their phone. As we passed the car, we were shocked to find the driver reading a paperback book as he drove. I hit the gas to get far away from him. <br />
<br />
I've been spending my days and nights working on bojagi (Korean quilting) table runners. I've also been raking lots of leaves and that is only from one tree. I still have two maple trees to go but they are just starting to change colors so it will be a while yet before the leaves fall. It's snow season here in Minnesota and Rocketman has the snow blower in the garage and ready to go. <br />

Judge C.R. Magney State Park is located 14 miles north of Grand Marais, MN on Highway 61. When I plan a vacation I try to also pick a place where Rocketman can take pictures which a passion of his. We left Grand Marais to arrive at the park when it opened which was 9 am. It was $5.00 a car to enter the park.<br />

On our way back, we found a guy fly-fishing. When we started around 9 am there were only a couple cars in the parking lot. But as we made our way back, we passed lots of people. The parking lot was pretty full upon our return.<br />

A few weeks ago we took a long weekend and drove up the North Shore to Grand Marais, MN. It was a first time for us and it did not disappoint. Halfway up we stopped in Duluth for lunch. We like to try places that were on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and that's how we found the <a href="https://duluthgrill.com/" target="_blank">Duluth Grille</a>. We arrived right around 11 and it wasn't too crowded. But that changed about 15 minutes after we arrived when we turned around in our booth to discover quite a crowd by the entrance.<br />

We saw a group of young boys swimming in the lake. Lake Superior is cold year round. So Rocketman decided to dip his toes and he couldn't believe how cold it was. For the record, the boys were in and out of the lake a few times.<br />

I ordered a chicken taco. It was my first time with a homemade puffed taco shell. It was amazing. The taco also came with a homemade chipotle sour cream that was to die for it tasted so good. I wish we had stayed longer to return to many of the restaurants we ate at.<br />

Lake Superior has always been my favorite of the Great Lakes. From when I was in grade school and had to memorize the beginning of the "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. "By the shores of Gitche Gumee, By the shining Big Sea Water..." I love that poem. There is something about the sound of waves that is so soothing.<br />

In our room was an old Up North cookbook and I was surprised to find a recipe for muskrat. I didn't know until then that muskrat was actually an animal. I remember that old Captain & Tennille song "Muskrat Love" and had no idea what a muskrat was but the song was catchy.<br />

We did a bunch of hiking at a local national park which I will leave for my next post. This one was all about the food.

When I have the grandboys I love to craft with them. This time I decided they would make a scrapbook page for their mama. She works in an office and loves to decorate the walls with artwork from her boys. Scrapbooking is one of the few crafts I didn't fall in love with but that doesn't mean we can't scrapbook once in a while. <br />

Ezra's page and I could not get it to rotate the correct way. He also did this page completely by himself. <br />

It is so much fun to see the creativity in my grandchildren. They are such a joy to us and we love them so very much. My daughter loved the pages and they are proudly displayed in her office.

Yesterday we went to the <a href="http://www.tradersmarket.us/" target="_blank">Trader's Market</a> in Elko, Minnesota. It's a big flea market. It was a chilly day but perfect weather to step back in time at least for me. We met our daughter and grandboys there and spent the morning exploring and of course, eating. The boys are like their grandpa, hungry all the time.</div>

I was lucky and found three that I remember from my childhood. They were in excellent condition and $6.00 apiece. So I've started a new collection. The flea market costs $6.00 to enter but if you go to their website and print out tickets you can get in for $5.00 which is what we did. It's one of the most favorites things that my daughter and I like to do together. It's times like these that make the bitter times a little less bitter and a lot more sweet.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04331460448945226008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125795385283141144.post-62744298628691569052016-08-22T11:48:00.000-05:002016-08-22T11:48:31.089-05:00Maedeup Monday!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The old say "two heads are better than one" is definitely the way our house runs. I was cleaning and organizing my craft room when I found a box of forgotten chilbo (Korean pendants) made by my chilbo teacher Kim Nan-Young and myself. I had thought over the years to add maedeup to them and wear them as necklaces and I did manage to do that to many. But how many necklaces can a girl wear?<br />
<br />
So my next thought was to display them so I could enjoy them whenever I wanted to. Thoughts then went to how to display them and I came up with using maedeup as the way to display the pendants. The only thing I forgot was that the chilbo pieces are not light and they ended up stretching the maedeup. <br />
<br />
Step in Rocketman who came up with the wooden dowel idea. The maedeup is tied onto the wooden dowel and he added hooks for the dowels to rest on. He also was the one who decided how to place the dowels on the wall. He did a great job and I love it!<br />

I am feverishly working on my latest children's book while the next is brewing in my head. I start by writing down a synopsis of the story. Then comes the words to each page. I follow with a quick sketch of each page. When that is finished I start to draw the actual pages. But during each step the story may go in a different direction or I feel I need to add a page or remove one. After everything is drawn, I paint. Rocketman adds the text after he scans the pages. It sounds like a lot of work and it is but I'm loving it. It feels so good to have my creativity back.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04331460448945226008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125795385283141144.post-59904466184985891202016-08-16T14:06:00.000-05:002016-08-16T14:06:44.606-05:00New Direction<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been in a state of unrest (craft wise) for the last couple of years after moving back home from South Korea. While living there I immersed myself in many Korean crafts and my days were spent in classes. I brought polymer clay with me but did not touch it once. So I knew the day was coming when I would decide to move in a different direction.<br />
<br />
I started taking watercolor and sumi-e classes at a local art center. I also signed up for classes online both in watercolor and mixed media. I fell in love with the medium and learned to overcome my fear of not being good enough. Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. <br />

I have been throwing around an idea for a children's book for over a year without diving in. A few months ago I put the story to paper and then began to draw and paint the illustrations myself. It took a long time and many times I would make an excuse to not work on it. But once I really dug in I couldn't stop. I have been having so much fun and yesterday I completed the book. <br />
<br />
I still need Rocketman to scan the pages and add the text but I am in no hurry because as soon as this book finished the idea for a sequel came to me and today I am starting the second book in the series. So I am in the process of writing the story for the sequel. Then I will sketch the illustrations and after I review and make any changes, I will draw and paint the illustrations. As in the first book, the story may change and that's the fun part of the process.<br />
<br />
I have signed up for some fall painting classes and will enjoy getting out and meeting new people. It has been a long time. I still have my Korean crafts that I enjoy working on so life is very full on the crafty front. I also have a few quilt kits to be made and a couple of knitting projects but they will be complete in time. I think I went crazy (in a good way) last year with all the quilts I made. <br />
<br />
If you are wondering the online classes I have been taking here they are:<br />
1. <a href="http://www.wyanne.com/#!classes/c1d6h" target="_blank">Wyanne Thompson</a><br />
2. <a href="http://tracyverdugo.com/" target="_blank">Tracy Verdugo</a><br />
3. <a href="http://www.willowing.org/" target="_blank">Life Book with Tam Laporte</a><br />
<br />
I love that the classes are downloadable and you go at your own pace. <br />

The Bayfield Festival of Arts is held every summer in Memorial Park in Bayfield, Wisconsin. The park is located on the shores of Lake Superior. The juried show showcases about 60 artists from all over the country. This was my first year attending and it did not disappoint. <br />

We also met this amazing fiber artist that blew us away with her talent. Painting with felt and thread, could there be anything more beautiful?

On our drive to Bayfield, we stopped at a little restaurant for lunch which also happened to sell the work of local artists. I picked up this little watercolor while there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each artist that we met we felt their joy as they shared their work with us. There is no bigger thrill to me than to meet people doing what they love to do. I left the show with my purchases and a huge smile on my face. As I wear and display the items I bought, I will think of the artist and all the passion they put into their work. What a fantastic weekend!</div>

I had never heard of Bayfield, Wisconsin until the news coverage several years ago of the huge storm that took out the vendors that were participating in the Bayfield Festival of Arts. <a href="http://hooeybatiks.com/bayfield-a-mighty-wind/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a blog post and photos of the catastrophe. I had always wanted to visit the annual art fair and this turned out to be the year we went. It was a win win for us, art for me and photography for Rocketman.<br />
<br />
If you know me, you know I am a huge fan of bed and breakfast establishments and found a beautiful one in Bayfield. It was called the <a href="http://www.rittenhouseinn.com/" target="_blank">Old Rittenhouse Inn</a>. It was conveniently located to downtown Bayfield so we didn't need to drive at all. The building was beautiful with plenty of parking in the rear.<br />

The first stop after checking in and getting settled was feeding Rocketman. We chose <a href="http://www.maggies-bayfield.com/" target="_blank">Maggie's</a> which was just a couple blocks away. They say you just have to try the white fish livers but I was too scared. Instead I had the kimchi burger. The kimchi turned out to be more like sauerkraut but I still liked it a lot.<br />

We saw this bicycle at the side of a bicycle repair shop as we made our way to Maggie's. We had to eat dinner quickly because I had booked a boat tour of the Apostle Islands which started at 5:30 pm. I booked through <a href="http://www.apostleisland.com/grand-tour/" target="_blank">Apostle Island Cruises.</a> We arrived at the dock about five to ten minutes before 5:30 to find a huge line of people. We were the last to board when the ship arrived.<br />
<br />
As the line started to board, Rocketman found an IPhone someone had left on the dock. We found the owner, a gentleman who's wife let him know what she thought of his forgetfulness. She also was surprised that he got the phone back. She said that a lost phone would have never been returned in St. Louis where they were from. I hope that isn't true but she now is a firm believer in "Minnesota Nice."<br />
<br />
The boat held about 100 people and there was 50 to 60 in our group. The top of the boat quickly filled so we made our way into the lower level. It turned out to be the best choice. It was a pretty warm day but I know how cold Lake Superior is so I had layers just in case.<br />

The remains of a homestead. The Apostle Island is now a national park but at one time families owned several islands. There was quite a dispute at the time when the government made good on their "eminent domain" policy. Captain Frosty also told us that at one time the islands had no trees as the trees were cut down for commerce.<br />

I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the islands. I also suggest that you dress appropriately meaning lots of layers. Most of the upper deck ended up with us in the lower deck due to the cold temperatures. Lake Superior is 32 degrees and even the air is chilly especially as the sun goes down. We got in at 9 pm which was dusk and it was cold. I even ended up with Rocketman's jacket on.<br />

In October, it will be a year since our latest trip to South Korea and this is my final post. We did so many things the two weeks we were there and I am surprised I had 30 posts on our adventures. It really was too much in too short of time and I think next time we go, we will go for three weeks. Hellena, our dear friend lives in Busan and we will always need a trip there whenever we visit. We also have many friends in the Seoul area and then when you add in shopping and some craft classes, the days flew by. The photo above I took while visiting Hellena in Busan. We were eating at a restaurant and there was a darling little girl eating with her family. She removed her shoes under the table and I found the shoes enchanting.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QVKUTa4FtDsDXOxsP4PEEIHj-TIgirTvUb1OPwNs8P_WBHKHr-koCDWRVuoAk7KFLBPAL9d3BrSnOYo31MMlMd99mmAm5EXUUuYLvRYanmDK7T0mu909_NWhV992y-n8YT8g3F8MXGUY/s1600/IMG_1558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-QVKUTa4FtDsDXOxsP4PEEIHj-TIgirTvUb1OPwNs8P_WBHKHr-koCDWRVuoAk7KFLBPAL9d3BrSnOYo31MMlMd99mmAm5EXUUuYLvRYanmDK7T0mu909_NWhV992y-n8YT8g3F8MXGUY/s640/IMG_1558.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />

We also went to Dongdaemun to pick up some fabric and I found the special fabric I was looking for. My favorite vendor went out of business years ago and I haven't found a consistent replacement.<br />

I stopped by my favorite bead store. It's on the fifth floor of a building off the main street of Namdaemun. We would have never found it years ago if not for Hellena.<br />

The hard part is that there are no prices so you have to ask. They also only take cash so I always take great care when I'm there. Rocketman always seems to find a lone chair close by which helps a lot. </div>

Here are the metal lunch trays! They are much fun for the grandboys. They love that I fill each section with something different. I need to pick up some more our next trip. <br />

I'm getting near the end of blogging about our Korea 2015 trip. We did squeeze so much in those few weeks and I can really see it as this is my 29th post.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04331460448945226008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125795385283141144.post-8529620385426496742016-06-06T13:15:00.001-05:002016-06-06T13:15:22.585-05:00South Korea Vacation Part 28 - Namdaemun<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whenever we visit Korea, Namdaemun is one of our must stops. It's a huge tourist attraction and the main road is difficult to navigate at times due to the amount of people and scooters. Then throw in some vendors that just set up a table or a sheet on the floor in the middle of the street to display their wares and it can be a zoo. But that is also the charm of Namdaemun.<br />

I love to watch the food vendors working like crazy to feed the masses that pass by their stalls.<br />

It seems that almost every time we are in Namdaemun we discover a new alley. This time it was a very narrow alley lined with food vendors.<br />

Not sure what he was doing up there but it was cool to see. If you ever visit Namdaemun or anywhere in Korea, get lost.

Our grandson, Ezra, turns five today. We were living in South Korea at the time and had bought plane tickets six months in advance hoping to arrive near his birthdate. We were flying over the Pacific ocean when our daughter went into labor. We arrived to messages on our phones that Ezra had arrived so we went straight to the hospital from the airport. </div>

Every day as we made our way to the subway, we passed this purse shop. It was always filled with Chinese tourist and everyone left with a package. After encountering this I knew I just had to check it out. <br />
<br />
The purses were all the same style but in different sizes and colors. They were very well made and all leather. I asked how much a purse was and was told 90,000 WON ($90 USD). I thought it would be a lot more so I bought one. The store clerk placed the purse I chose back on display and went into a back room to get a brand new one for me. She opened the package to show that it was the same purse I had picked. I was thrilled until I got back to the apartment and unpacked the purse.<br />

I loved the purse but I also loved the tassel that all the displayed purses had so naturally I thought the purse came with a tassel. Wrong! I was so disappointed so I packaged up my newly bought purse and Rocketman went with me to see why it didn't come with a tassel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sales clerk was so nice. She told us that the tassel was extra. So I asked how much thinking it couldn't be more than $20. It was $49,900WON ($49.90 USD). We both about choked. That was more than half the price of the purse. Yikes! I really liked the purse and with the tassel. Rocketman shrugged and said to get the tassel. So here is a photo of my purse. I still love it but I wish I would have known the tassel was extra I wouldn't have bought the purse. </div>

The rest of our stay we saw a continued stream of Chinese tourists exiting this shop with purchases. Never fear, you don't have to travel all the way to Korea to own Kwani handbag, you can find them <a href="http://kwani.kr/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

While I was in chilbo (Korean enameling) class, Rocketman did a walk about the neighborhood. It seems to be changing all the time.<br />

When Nan-Young first moved here years ago, the street was really run down and in disarray but the Korean government has put a lot of money into the area to make it beautiful. It has become quite a tourist attraction too and is located just south of the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace (화성행궁). The street is full of artists including Nan-Young and my hanji teacher.<br />

There is a coffee shop across the street from Nan-Young's and sometimes we would arrive way too early for my class so we would stop for tea at this shop. The owner always has decorated the shop in all kinds of homemade crafts. Definitely my kind of place.<br />

Here are the three finished boxes. They were handmade by Nan-Young's fiancé. She told me once she would never marry again. Her ex-husband drank a lot and was physically abusive. She left him years ago but I found out this trip that he had died a few years ago, a direct result of his drinking.<br />
<br />
She met a fellow artist and the rest is history. He did drink occasionally and also smoked. She told him she would not marry him unless he gave up both and he did. The only problem is that he lives in the country about an hour north of Gwangju. Nan-Young being firmly planted in Suwon.<br />
<br />
So they were to marry in December and I haven't confirmed if the did at this time. Nan-Young was going to commute between the two cities. She would spend Monday through Thursday in the country and then Friday through Sunday in Suwon. It sounded grueling to me but she was so very happy. Her fiancé had a beautiful home and lots of land. Next time we go to Korea, we want to visit them.<br />

I was able to take a couple of chilbo (Korean enameling) classes from my friend and teacher, Kim Nan-Young. It was so good to spend time with her and I love our one-on-one classes. <br />

I also noticed this photo of me in Nan's shop. It's from when we lived in Korea in 2008 and Nan had taken the photo with her camera. I was surprised to see it and also super touched. I adore her so much. She also told me in Korean that she no longer teaches with the exception of myself. She is very busy with exhibitions and also she is very active in her community. </div>

Our final stop in Busan was the Taedongdae Resort Park. The park is HUGE and we opted to take the tram around the park. There was a one hour wait but it was well worth it. You could get off and on a tram and sightsee at your own leisure. We went on a Sunday and it was pretty busy. Even with the tram be prepared to walk a lot with lots of steep inclines. But the sites we saw were worth every minute.<br />

Before we started, Hannah and Rocketman were hungry so we stopped for hot dogs on a stick. They were cold but pretty good. Then we began our first walk up a steep hill to get to the tram. There was a convenience store at the tram station and Hellena bought a bunch of snacks like dumplings which she heated in a microwave in the store.<br />

Hellena (center) with her husband and Hannah. We had a long uphill walk back to the tram after this photo. Everyone was exhausted. As I walked, I came alongside a Korean grandmother who also was having difficulty like myself. She talked to me in Korean and I talked to her in limited Korean and English. She found a bench and beckoned me to sit beside her. I was ahead of everyone else and we sat there talking. <br />
<br />
She refused to believe I was a grandmother so I called myself mi-gook halmoni (American grandmother). She loved it! We were deep in conversation when Hannah and the rest came upon us. Hannah wanted to know what we were talking about so I told her and she talked to the grandmother also. The halmoni told Hannah she was waiting for family so we left her on the bench but I will never forget the wonderful time I had with her. <br />

It was a small place and the meat was pretty tough but the company made up for it. After dinner, Hellena and her husband dropped us off at the train station. There were lots of tears as we made our way into the station and back to Seoul. I miss Hellena so much but thanks to Kakao Talk we can stay in touch. We had a great time in Busan and this was just our first week in Korea. Our second week was just as jam packed.
