Last Monday Disasters:
Memorial Day 5 /26/ 08 Planing to spend the better part of the day making beads..I went down at 5:30 A.M. every thing was OK.I came up stairs shower shave. At 6:00 A.M. I went down stairs to start Found about 10" of water in basement. Took every thing I could to higher ground. Water coming in to fast.washing silt over the top of my #1 pump burnt up pump. Went and bought a new pump that takes out 5,800 Gal per hour. by the time I got the pump and flex hose hooked up about 45 minutes later 29 1/2 " of water and thick mud and silt over every thing in basement. We are still cleaning up and trying to get things back in order. Thanks to the crew and to my friends I only have about a week left and we should be up and running.
This all happened because some company working in the basement cut off the storm sewer pipe and left it open. did not re plug the drain. So you have a little of the story.
If the company's insurance does not help me I will let every one know who the company is. They are nation wide. We have lost " THOUSANDS "
Thank You

This is a story that my Niece wrote about the making of beads. Gabriela is 9 & 1/2 years old.
The Beadmaker
This is how beads were born - Once a very long time ago there was a girl named Topia she loved colors and sunbeams but most of all she loved beads.
Dear Sunbeam she wrote,
Please teach me how to make beads with colors and sunbeams inside.
The sunbeam thought this was a great idea but Sunbeam only wanted himself in the bead so he answered Topia,
"Yes But only ME!"
"But Sunbeam...." She started.
"NO!" He yelled which slowed down the sundown in the west. Topia was devastated. So she wrote a letter to the color queen,
Dear Color Queen
Can you help me mix your colors into beads and help me catch a sunbeam with it?
The Color Queen was delighted to have such a privilege, "Why YES! Indeed" said the Color Queen.
At this word the sunbeam overheard and was bursting "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He trembled and with that the earth shook, the winds broke, the sea burst and the sunbeam turned to a star, sparks flying everywhere and thats why the glass beads today are made my the sunbeam.
