Reader This week, I’m traveling with my family, and this trip feels extra special. It’s the first time in about a year that all three of us have been able to travel together. We were lucky enough to time it with a full week off from Brooke’s job, so we are making the most of every moment.
That brings me to one of the best pieces of travel advice I can give you: don’t wait for the perfect time.
Don’t wait until everything slows down. Don’t wait until the kids are older, work is less busy, or retirement finally arrives. There will always be another reason to put the trip off.
Take the trip now. Make the memories now. Even a quick weekend away can become one of those experiences your family talks about for years.
While I’m traveling, there is still a lot happening at PowWows.com!

If you dance Southern Straight, you know the otter fur turban is one of the most recognizable pieces of the outfit. And if you've ever priced a finished one, you know why so many dancers decide to make their own!
Our friends at The Wandering Bull put together a full step-by-step video showing exactly how a turban comes together — from a raw otter hide all the way to a finished piece ready for your beadwork and brooches.
Bisbee Turquoise was originally discovered by the Phelps Dodge Company while mining for copper in the 1950's. It was found in an area of the Bisbee mine at what is known as the Lavendar Pit. They found the deposits of Bisbee Turquoise until the mid to late 1960's. During the time that the largest quantities of turquoise were being extracted from the mine, the company made no organized effort to recover it. It simply got loaded into large dump trucks and hauled off to the "dumps". Almost all recovered turquoise was picked up by company employees, taking it home in their lunch boxes, etc. Though this activity was prohibited, it was rarely enforced. For several years (mostly the early to late 70s), these individuals locally know as "dumpers", were the only source for this fine American Turquoise.
