The Missing Bag Resurfaces

Wow. the lost bag has finally been found. Evidently it has been enjoying itself somewhere in South Carolina. Perhaps we didn't make it clear where our destination was. Anyway, it is now on its way to San Diego several days after Rob no longer needs it. (Sigh).

The weather today is scattered clouds and little cooler than yesterday. We still have some lovely sun off and on. Rob has registered across the street at the Marriott for his conference. He is all set to go.

Yesterday we stopped at another dive shop that just happened to be next door to a BEAD STORE! Yes, I bought a few things. They had seed beads in one-pound packages for 7.99. I only bought one, but there is an option to go back again if I feel the need to bead. I also got some copper findings and quartz beads. They had turquoise in all shapes and sizes for a set price per ounce. That was really a steal. They also had some really excellent lapis. These beads were at least 25 mm in diam. and gorgeous. They had a long string of them for $300. Then they offered us 40% off. No, I didn't get them, but Rob had a wonderful idea of what to do with something like that. These lapis rounds looked like little earths. They also had large round stone beads that resembled other planets. Why not string nine 9 (yes, 9) of them together and call the necklace a Solar System necklace. I could use silver seed beads between and around them to make the Milky Way. Oh well, when I have time and money.

Bye for now.
