Twice a year my best friend Sue and I go to Southfield, Michigan to the "Bead Bonanza". We had plans to go this spring but her husband recently had major surgery and this time she just couldn't go. I tried to find someone else to go with me but it just wasn't the right timing. I was resigned to the fact I wouldn't be going, so I cancelled the hotel and set about enjoying Saturday evening with my husband. He built a fire in the backyard
and we roasted sausage and sat and talked. He knew I was really looking forward to the bead show and he told me he would go with me. I wasn't sure about this, I figured he would get impatient and I would feel rushed, so I said we'll see what morning brings.
On Sunday I woke up early and had decided to tell him we didn't need to go, but he said "Are you getting ready? I'm going with you." He said I could take my time shopping and it was his decision to go, so don't worry about enjoying myself. We headed out at 7:30 am, stopped at Starbucks on the way and made it there by 10:00am. I left him sitting in the lobby area in a chair with his book. I hit the show and shopped.
I checked in with him from time to time and not one complaint from him. I shopped until 3:00 pm.
I bought some yummy crystal beads in several colors 4/10.00 . "Bead Palace" out of Greenwood, IN. was there and I got a few strands of gemstones from them. Do you see a color pattern here? This was the best anniversary present a girl could ask for!
We left, went for lunch and then headed for home. I sure do love that man!
