What are some additional earmarks of greatness?

Hazel’s is such an inviting little shop. Interesting sign revealing the history of glass. Woe unto them who practiced that art in Venice! Rather harsh punishment, I’d say. I don’t have anything to add to your “Earmarks of Greatness,” Cynthia. Hope you had a nice weekend.

Yes, this little shop at Silver Dollar City (family owned and operated Christian theme park) in Branson is one of my favorites. There is an actual glass-blowing area where demonstrations are going on continually. The shop sells all of their own hand-blown pieces, of course. And yes, our wk end was lovely. I pray yours was, as well. 🙂
Great list, Cynthia! I’ve been working on #9, and boy, does He give back in return! 🙂

Amen, Sarah! And we’re all still WIP’s from time to time. 🙂
Great list. I think the one I have to work on the most is #7. The
glass shop looks like a fun place to browse. 🙂

That’s something that’s a continual process, I think, Tanya. It may seem daunting at first, but we’re all just people putting our pants on the same way–one leg at a time.
And yes, I go to the little glass shop every time we visit. The pieces are a lovely feast for my eyes! 🙂
