Glass Chatroom Board

Hello from a rainy NJ -- but it's real rain, not just a t'storm that is here and gone. My garden will be very happy!

@shellyrae37 It's good to see you Shelly. I took a mini-vacation last week, starting at my daughter's in Virginia for a pre-birthday dinner followed by a birthday breakfast for me. From there I drove to Pittsburgh, something I'd not done before. Interesting ride on the PA Turnpike -- up and down the "hills" with lots of trucks and construction (and a few accidents) made for a very long ride. Destination was the Phoenix & Consolidated Glass Club annual convention which was a lot of fun. Field trip this year was to the Phipps Conservatory & Botanical Garden, which featured Super.Natural.Glass Art by Jason Gamrath (https://www.phipps.conservatory.org/calendar/detail/super-natural-glass-art-by-jason-gamrath) -- plus they still have a few pieces of glass by Dale Chihuly. The next day was their auction (run by Tom Burns). Needless to say, my collection of Phoenix and Consolidated glass is now larger. I then went back to my daughter's so I could take her out for a pre-birthday dinner (along with two of her good friends). And then it was back home. Back in June, all four of us (DH, daughter, and son) went to Israel for a week. And later this month we'll have our week at the Jersey Shore.
