Beading Venue

For a number of years, I would go to the Gem and Mineral Show in Tucson. Since I lived in Tucson it was convenient. This particular year, I went with my Mom to St. Phillip's Plaza. There was a cover fee to get in, and I paid for it. I carefully went around the vendors with my Mom. I carefully looked at items, deciding on every purchase I made. It was a small room with maximum space for the vendors and little space for the aisles. There were a lot of people in attendance and it was difficult to get by some shoppers because it was obvious they sat a lot. Forget about getting by if there were two of these well-endowed women were looking at things on opposite sides of an aisle. My Mom tailed around me and when we left, and on the way to our car, she said in exasperation: "Boy, there were a lot of women who were two ax handles wide." What she meant by that was that was a lot of women in attendance who sat down all day. I was about to agree with her when her eyes went wide and added very loudly "I didn't mean you! I didn't mean you!" Poor Mom.
