totally off topic...about our recent brief travel.

   Blog to return on topic later this week...Just flew back from a long weekend in Grand Rapids Michigan, home of Gerald Ford and known once for its furniture, more lately for its Amway.....a corporate entity that seems to own the majority of the town or, at least, have its name on many of its edifices.  What isn't named after Ford (airport, major highways, etc., etc.) seems to be the province of Amway (including the hotel in which we stayed and were feted at a family wedding for one of the Szabo clan nieces).
     The so-called rapids are pictured to the left.  Apparently, when the weather turns wet, the water rises and, indeed, it flows very rapidly and has been known to flood both sides of downtown.  Mercifully, while overcast, there was no rain while we were there.
     This first and likely only trip to Grand Rapids was fun, but it's now time to get back to the work of beading and blogging about it.
      There is news on the show front.....stay tuned!

Oh my gosh, Teddi! I just checked out your website and am overwhelmed! I thought the necklace you had on at the wedding was fantastic but as I looked over your other pieces I am in awe!
Not only is the workmanship incredible but the pieces are all unusual and beautiful too. I can't wait to go to the show in Ann Arbor--put in on the calender already. Great to see you this weekend...your family was so fun to be with! Congrats to Aaron and Pamela!
