Lucky Buck Jewelry

Dear friends and family,
We have just finished our best ever show at Rippavilla Plantation in Spring Hill, TN. The feedback from the show has been overwhelming. We have had offers from so many places to sell our jewelry and also to come to their venue. We had an invitation to consider an offer to place our jewelry in Maryland at glass studio there. Bubba is making Lucky Buck Jewelry as fast as he can. We are so thankful for all of God's blessings.
I have been a hairdresser for 29 years now and I can't tell you of a better year than the one we are having. Our shop Curls & Pearls is doing great. We are thrilled with the success.

Our next venue is in Stone Mountain, GA. We need some friends to go with us and watch our children. Any takers? LOL There are supposed to be over 250,000 people there. Whew! After that we go to Goats, Music and More in Lewisburg, TN and then to Oxfest in Oxford, AL. We will then be in Springville at Homestead Hollow with my parents. They are taking the chuck wagon and doing a cooking demonstration. We are considering more shows but there is only one of Bubba. We will go to Christmas Village in November in Birmingham. Please keep us posted of your favorite shows.

Remember that you can order from Facebook directly by private messaging us.
Blessings,
Wendy

The Top Ten Things You Should Know About Fragile X Syndrome

By Mary Beth Langan and Sally Nantais

1. It’s genetic.
2. If a woman is a carrier, she has a 50/50 chance of passing it on to her son(s) or daughter(s). 1 in 100 to 200 women are carriers **.
3. If a man is a carrier he will pass it only to his daughter(s), and they will only be carriers. 1 in 800 men are carriers.
4. Fragile X Syndrome does not discriminate; it doesn’t care which ethnic group you belong to.
5. Fragile X Syndrome is a spectrum disorder. Symptoms may vary from mild learning disabilities (including shyness and social anxiety) to severe cognitive impairment (mental retardation).
6. Premature Ovarian Failure, more commonly known as early menopause, is a condition that affects 20-28% of the female FXS carrier population.
7. Fragile X-associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), discovered in 2001, is a neurological disorder that can involve tremors, balance irregularities, difficulty walking and dementia which sadly is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's and/or Alzheimer’s. This condition is present in some older FXS carriers (typically after the age of fifty), usually in males but FXTAS can also affect female carriers.
8. There are minor physical traits noted in many persons with Fragile X Syndrome, but not in all. These are traits which may also be present within the typical population, nothing unique which would necessarily indicate FXS testing is necessary for your child.
9. When testing for Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), it is critical that the correct tests are ordered – the Fragile X DNA (Southern Blot) and PCR analysis. Inaccurate results occur far too often with the generic chromosomal panel. Test for FXS to obtain a diagnosis or to rule it out. If you don’t have what may be the correct diagnosis of FXS, then you will never be aware of improved treatments or the cure when it’s found.
10.
