July 25-31, 2019 Palo Alto, California to Fort Collins, Colorado



This is the hot tub and cold plunge at the Watercourse Way bathhouse and spa in our private hot tub room, There is also a sauna , shower and bed to rest on. We had an hour in here, then 90 minute massages. We were noodles after the hot tub, totally relaxed after the massage. My sister Judy treated me for my birthday. This place is wonderful. Today I flew back to Fort Collins. This sculpture is in the San Jose Airport. It is huge and it rotates. It is called Space Observer and it takes pictures of people and such and you can see them somewhere, but I didn't find out about the picture till to late. 

Looking out the plane window over the San Francisco bay with fog creeping in. Soon after that we had clouds the rest of the way back.  

My darling husband John picked me up in the airport and took me out to dinner in Fort Collins for my birthday season. The mermaid bowl is in the kiln for it's next firing.  

My new flat lap arrived. It is the green thing. I can bevel and polish glass with it. It took most of the day to unpack it and then set it up. I started some beveled jewels, will post photos when I get them polished.I am so excited.  I went biking before dinner and was rewarded with a beautiful rainbow. 

Sunset over the old power plant. I played with my new piece of glass equipment- a flat lap beveler/polisher and made these. They are harder than they look, I ended up with way too many angles and that made it too hard to get all polished. But I learned a lot, the next batch will look better. 

If you don't know what they are supposed to look like they look good. Sunset on my bike ride tonight. 

John took me out to dinner at the restaurant at the new hotel near us. Great dinner and nice time, thank you darling. He also gave me these beautiful roses and a barbie dress with $$ limbs, plus barbie's necklace and purse. 

Lilies blooming in front of the house, I planted them before we left on the RV trip. Sunset last night. 

I fused these two bars to make into more jewels. I will cut them apart with my wet diamond jigsaw, but the saw is awaiting a part, so it won't be now. I made this jewel last night. It came out right and was much easier because I had more of an idea of what I was doing. I glued the 4 pieces of glass together with UV glue that I activate with my new UV light. 

It was cloudy at sunset so not a lot of color, but really cool clouds. I set the jewel I made yesterday in a bezel, it looks very nice. I am working on many more.
