Just had a wonderful weekend with relatives from Texas I'd never met before. They just left today, and I already miss them. While they were here, we took some time to explore together this area that I have now made my home. Friday we visited the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning NY. My parents had been there when I was in college, but I had never had the pleasure of visiting myself. It was well worth the 30 minute trip, and I plan to visit again soon. Being a novice lampwork beadmaker myself, I found the artistic expressions in glass absolutely stunning.
