Hey all

    My daughter's school used to have "Career Day". I'd set up a quasai
    bench and show the kids various demos. Of course, one of their faves
    was watching the Luxiflux burn off. Such a beautiful green color. The
    math teacher would ask me how math played into my work (big time!....
    we have current threads on Orchid about custom jewelry pricing and
    trade success stories), the art teacher about design (my best seem to
    come to me at 4a.m.) etc etc. I truly enjoyed doing them and when I
    bought out a craftsperson with mucho stuff I could use and mucho more
    that I couldn't I got together with others and started an after
    school craft camp. And lead a Girl Scout troop. All great fun and
    very rewarding. Then Lize grew up and the empty nest loomed before
    me. But, whilst standing in front of the bagel section not long after
    she decamped, I spied onion bagels and thot, "OMG, I can get them!!!
    I don't have to get plain ole!" The empty nest has its perks. Now, a
    few years later, I ready to volunteer again, thanks for the push, I'm
    dialing up the Girl Scouts! I'll have a tall stout waiting for me
    after an afternoon of little hands that seem to have 20 fingers and
    minds that have a million questions and sweet little faces. And dream
    about that first grandkid!
