Into Each Life a Little Rain Must Fall

It's been a couple of weeks since I wrote on my blog. I have been busy with so many things. I did get to go with some friends to San Antonio and Fredericksburg last weekend. What fun we had. I took a fused glass class for the 2 days that we were in San Antonio, and learned quite a bit to keep me going for a while in this newfound passion. In Fredericksburg, we stayed at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast, and went on a rainy winery tour. (I should have seen it coming. It was the first of 14 straight days of rain around here!) We were supposed to have the Big Chill Weekend this weekend, so I have been gearing up for that, but God had other plans. It has rained like cats and dogs for days. At last count it has rained about 13 inches this week. Needless to say, a weekend at the beach with 13 inches of rainwater standing around does not sound pleasant, so we have had to cancel and reschedule.

The rain is depressing! I have been housebound for 3 straight days. Today, I finally got out of my funk and remembered one of my collected quotes:

“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.”

So I put on my "happy pants" and decided to get something done! I finally got pictures of the pendants I made to match the sundresses I bought at the thrift store.


Plus, I managed to fuse a blank for an upcoming sushi plate...without a bubble! It appears that the rain may have finally stopped for a while, so maybe there will be a rainbow. Whether there is, or isn't I can at least look back on today as a productive one!
