We went to The Museum of Glass in Tacoma. There is a hot shop there, and I love watching the artists. We got lucky and saw two visiting artists in the process of creating.
These are the hands of Fred Curtis from Ireland. He used to be a glass cutter with Waterford before they closed. He has his own business in Ireland now. 
He is overseeing some blanks to be sent back home for him to cut. He has been contracted to make a bunch of eagles for the museum in the home town of JFK's grandfather. . 
We drove up to see Mt. St. Helens the other day. We were glad to see how much the mountain has recovered. 
We getting closer to the mountain.
Here we are five miles away from the crater. We watch a movie about the eruption, and after it was over the curtains came up to windows overlooking this scene. It was breathtaking. Your dad took this picture because he was the taller of us. You can see steam coming up from the lava cap.
A couple from Washington took a picture of us overlooking the Columbia Gorge.
We are in Leavenworth today and tomorrow. Then we go back down to Oregon. More later. Love, Mom and Dad

Glass making is so interesting.
It's weird driving up to Mt. St. Helens, thick forest and then nothing.
