And The Rain Keeps Coming
Well, everyone in the Dallas area is pretty much tired of the rain by now. It has not completely stopped raining since very early this morning. After lunch I went to the doctor’s office to make sure the oldest boy had received the booster shot we thought he had - the high school was highly interested in that information. Now not only does the school have it on their records, but we have a record for our files. We do not know why we had not gotten a copy when he received the shot.
When I returned to the house I could not get on the internet. With the rain, the local wifi was out. Apparently water was messing with the phone lines as well because dial-up was even a problem. And dial-up is a problem as it is. So I had no chance to get on and check anything out or post.
Very few people will want to get out and drive tonight. Schools are still having Meet the Teacher nights and other school activities. But anyone who does not have to get out probably will not. The rain is supposed to continue into the morning - possibly most of the day tomorrow. Trust me - the ground is saturated. Returning from picking Cyndy up from work, we had not seen the water levels as high as they are now. And we have seen them up high.
Ground that had always considered itself high ground discovered today what it feels like to be the bank. Of a stream, river, pond, lake, or other body of water. Other ground on the side of the road had never been a bank before, much less any other part of pond. Be that as it may, there is plenty of water sitting around with more rain on the way.
Hopefully in the morning the weather will not be as bad as this morning. Making it easier for everyone to get to work. Events and activities will pick up as the week rolls along and we will get started with those in the morning.
Have a good evening and Peace be with you.

You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.

I am new to beading, where do I start? We recommend our ‘Basic Bead stringing’ and ‘Wire Work’ Classes. From there, speak with an associate, tell them what you are interested in making and they can recommend books, and classes key to your interests.

What materials do you recommend for internal support mandrel beading? The cutting tool material will affect the life of the cutting tool. TI cutters are made from 304 Stainless Steel Hard-Tempered Cannula, 17-4 Stainless Steel, 440 Stainless Steel and Tungsten Molybdenum Tool steel, among others. Titanium Nitride (TiN) or Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coatings can also be added to increase hardness. Generally, hardened stainless steel and coated stainless steel increases the tool life, however, not all stainless steels are appropriate for certain shapes and cutting edge styles.
