It's My Birthday

You say it's your birthday?...that's right. August 29Th. I made plans to celebrate my birthday before I had surgery. I ordered a Doberge Cake from Maurice's Bakery. Hurricane Gustav Today we are planning for the worse and hoping for the best. I spent yesterday packing my beads to evacuate. How do you decide which beads you will take with you? My Mom said "Bev you look like your deciding which children get to go. I have been collecting them for over 12 years. All those beads, stones, delicas, seed beads and findings. I filled a suitecase. Not just a suitcase but the biggest one I had. It was so heavy my husband just about hurt himself getting if off the bed. I told him slide it off the bed to the floor!! So tomorrow morning we will pack the car and head for Michigan. We will be leaving before a mandatory evacuation. Better to be safe and out of harms way. I will keep in touch through my blog

Happy Birthday, Bev -- and godspeed on your trip to Michigan. Been thinking about you since yesterday and hoping you were well enough to travel.

Gosh, you must have a husband as nice as mine to lug all those beads!
