Canberra Glassworks

This is probably one of the finest facilities I have ever taught in. Here are a few photos I took today.... I will take more tomorrow, the place is huge!











If you look close or blow up the photo you can see the lamp working area way at the other end!





They have a fantastic blowing studio.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Missing Whit

Where I am!

I am having a great time teaching down under! I have been here for about a week now and have completed my first class. It took place in a magical city called Patonga, about an hour and a half north of Sydney. It is so beautiful here!




This is the view from the back of the house where I am teaching and staying.



And looking back to the house.



There are pelicans everywhere....



Lorikeets singing....



Cockatoos screeching... And many more birds I have yet to photograph.

I had arrived at 6:00 am so Sue, who is wonderful by the way, gave me a great driving tour through Sydney.








Currently we are on our way to Melbourne, about a 12 hour drive. The country side is beautiful, I will stop and take some photos today and share them in my next blog.

Until then..... Have a great day, Life is Good!!!!

SLOW DANCE.....

This is an email I received today ......... and it made me slow down ........

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever

watched

kids

On a merry-go-round

Or listened to

the

rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a

butterfly’s erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the

fading

night?

You better slow down.

Don’t

dance so

fast.

Time is short.

The music

won’t last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask

How are you?

Do you hear

the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie

in your

bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through

your head?

You’d better

slow down

Don’t dance so

fast.

Time is

short.

The music won’t

last.

Ever told your

child,

We’ll do it

tomorrow?

And in your

haste,

Not see

his

sorrow?

Ever lost

touch,

Let a good

friendship die

Cause you

never had time

To call

and say , “Hi”

You’d

better slow down.

Don’t dance

so fast.

Time is short.

The music won’t

last..

When you run

so fast to get somewhere

You

miss half the fun of getting

there.

When you worry and hurry

through your

day,

It is like an unopened

gift...

Thrown

away.

Life is not a

race.

Do take is

slower

Hear the music

Before the song is

over.
