Currently, I'm relaxing on Miami Beach drinking a tall lemonaide and trying to get used to humidity.  Gotta love West Texas' dry heat!  Tomorrow I'm headed for the airport to meet 20 other jewelers from around the country for an adventure of a life time...especially for those of us in the jewelry business.  We're off to Brazil to tour several colored stone mines.  Imperial Topaz, Emerald, Tourmaline as well as Morganite and Kunzite mines are on the list!   This is an educational trip more than it is a buying trip, but I'm such a girl...I know I'll have to find something to bring back home!  If I get internet access I'll be sure to post my adventures in Brazil.  It should be a hoot!  I'll definately post pictures when I get back!  Be sure to watch our Facebook page as well and I'll journal the trip there as well!  For now....I think the waves are calling my name! As they say in Brazil, "Ve-lo mais tarde"
