Lol, yeah, exactly, considering how he's at home usually when the packages arrive, and he's the one that brings them in! Lol, what a funny image--people lying on the table amidst a flurry of beads. I hope you had a good visit with your daughter.
Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

Hi Sahar,
Not only how big the packages are, but how many boxes arrive and how heavy
they are! When we get home from the bead show, we cover the dining room
talbe with the beads...we took photos of us with our spread of gems laying
all fanned out on the table. We look mad. I thought Bob would choke when he
found I had paid $40 for the new pliers, but when he saw what I could do
with them he was fine with it and happy about it. Going to go visit our
daughter today, and not taking anything for her to finish for me. Lynda
