Hey Ruth!

-> 
We've gone to Tucson several times when the show was on and have had a 
lot of fun going to it...but I've never bought beads there. Shipwreck Beads is 
near me (advertised as the worlds largest selection) so I have a huge amount 
of inventory to select from...I think the only other really big company is Fire

mountain Gems and I've ordered from them on occaision. 
This year it looks like we are going to try to go to New Mexico for the first 
time. Alberquerque will probably be our main base of operations with trips 
north and south from there. I am an avid fan of Georgia O'Keefe so it's been 
on our list for quite a while. We're both pretty excited, the last couple of 
years we have not gotten to go anywhere!

-> I'm hoping I'm feeling good enough by next week I can do some serious

-> some veggie pasta sauce I'd made a month or so ago; we had it with whole
-> wheat 4 cheese raviloi.
-> 
We don't have much freezer space either. So I don't make big dishes to keep 
there for more than a week or two at the most. Last night we ate the last of 
the second meatloaf, so this weekend I'll be making a few more dishes ahead 
for next week and it will be full again. 
Chat with you soon
