Hi all & a happy September to you...just got back from visiting Grandma & Grandpa for their 90th birthdays & 70th wedding anniversary which is on the same day as ours...Drove from California to Montana & back with Mooshi, she did really well & was a hit with the Grandparents. Save for the time that she jumped in a fast moving river after her ball & did it again right after hubby fished her out...this dog has no fear...had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa, they are so cool, the stories they tell. Lets face it they lived through a lot more than most of us, so far they have made it through a few wars & a few recessions & all kinds of fun stuff in between...I asked Grandma, what has been the best times & the worst times so far in their life, she said The Best Times were when were together & The Worst Times were when we were apart...brought tears to my eyes,so sweet & honest...love them...
In BEAD News: I have only made one set of beads since we got back, the rest in the photo I made before we left...Check out my shop on etsy...The Drum Roll Beads in the photo is my new set & I hope you dont mind, I am making them in to a bracelet for myself, I love them so much...I made them with Grace's Disk Shaper...

I love the story about the grandparents. Nice to see your lovely beads as well. Take good care.
Wish I still had grandparents to visit...........you are very lucky. That's an interesting combo of beads Jenny sent you - can't wait to see what you do with it!!
The Bead Soup looks awesome, with tons of possibilities! And wow, but I have to have that disk maker. Favorited it for later!
Aren't grandparents the best!
I just received my first beads from you, what amazing talent you have.
Have much fun on your teaching trip, if you have any room in your suitcase let me know.
Thanks for sharing the gift of your talent!
