Bead Shopping!

The guys were out measuring the area for the new garage. This is progress.























Afterwards we ran a couple of errands then went to lunch at La Pinta, the oldest restaurant in Old Town.

Then we walked down the block so I could shop in two bead stores: The Shepardess and Lost Cities Beads. I found a couple of sterling silver bead caps in size 12mm, a hard size to find apparently. I've been looking all over the internet for them. I also bought two interesting looking beads.

It was still early so we drove on to The Black Bead in Point Loma. I found a few very nice lamp work beads there, but no bead caps in the size I wanted.

It was getting to be time to pick up Flash and 50-50 from the vet's, so we headed back on Hwy 8. We didn't get very far before learning there was a 20-car pile up near 70th street. The freeway was backed up all the way from Mission Center to 70th. That took us an extra 30-45 minutes, but we got to the vet in time.

To the vet--again

We have been spending a lot of time (and money) at the vet's lately. The fun continues as I take Flash to be neutered and 50-50 to have her eye checked. They will have to stay at the vet's until 4 o'clock this afternoon. I mentioned to Dennis that maybe he could take part of the day off to go to Old Town for lunch and a little shopping at the bead store. He-he-he.
