GREATER WASHINGTON BEAD SOCIETY BEAD SHOW!
Today was great! Woke up, took Nanook for a walk, came home checked email, get ready to go to GWBS Bead Show and then saw I had time to spare. I finished soldering the iris panel, did some picking up and then Terresa came. We looked at books and caught up while waiting for Bonnie. Off to the show…. on the 270 Spur a sheet of plywood was thrown up in the air, hit Terresa’a new Jeep. It was crazy, seeing this piece of plywood break into 5 pieces in front of us. When we parked we saw there was a scuff on front bumper and 2 scuffs on passenger side of Jeep, lloks like they will all buff out. We had just passed a guy with sheet foam insulationa and made comments about them going airborne. Lots of beads and lots of friends- saw Mardi Trout, Grazia and her daughter, Clare Nykolyszyn, Martha Irish, Rita Sharon, Maxine Schutter and all the vendors we know. Kay from Stars held my heavy bag of lampwork so I could walk around and spend more! I did get supplies for Arlington classes. It was fun shopping and walking around and visiting the vendors I have known for years.
After shopping we went ot Buca Di Beppo for late lunch/early dinner. It was great, especially since Terresa and Bonnie had never been. We got two entrees and shared and brought home almost half. I love the atmosphere there. and love looking at the photos. Some great ones. In the bar was a lady with watermelon halves on her chest with this huge smile on her face. And of course Sofia Loren! What a great restaurant, if you have not been and you ever get the opportunity please go. We are going to try and get enought to go to the Pope’s Room next visit with reservations of course. Check it out at www.bucadibeppo.com .
Came home, visited alittle while then when everyone left I started a fire in the wood stove. Looked at my bead bootie and thought up new projects. Also finished wrapping two fruit panels. Listened to Glengarry Bhoys ( www.glengarrybhoys.com) and Battlefield Band (http://battlefieldband.co.uk). Saw Glengarry Bhoys at Scottish Games in September and love them! Been Listening to Battlefield Band for years and can’t wait to hear new album!
Now it is movie time… don’t know what is on the menu for tonight.
