Rock N Roll















The Intrepid Rock Hound ( Any excuse to beat
something with a hammer ...please sing along!)














The Geeky Assistant ( note the natty crowbar walking stick...
necessary equipment on these steep hillsides...any way
it saved my bacon a couple of times!)
















The Quarry ( hee hee- get it?!) . Agates and geodes today.
We found quite a few up a obscure draw near Challis
( Lime Creek?!- definitely not tropical enough for limes!).
While looking for an old Flourite mine east of Challis we
came upon a huge amount of easy pickin's!

Ramblin'





















The last few weeks have been disjointed (sing along here) to say the least.
On the upside Tasha had her 18th birthday ( yeay!!!)
On the downside work is intense right now ( and that will continue until the economy picks up, sighhhhhh!).
Upside- I've been making jewelry - 19 and counting necklaces for the Young Women's New Beginnings Program...plus some polished rock we've picked up on our travels ( more to come on this).
Upside- we've been to Montana twice for potential rock finding expeditions ( I watch the rocks carefully from inside...it's still too cold to get out of the pickup!).
Downside ( sorta)-Wynn's been laid off ( I view it as a needed course correction) and that is like having Dad laid off but without the optimism ( yikes!).
Very upside-Got to babysit Asher last week and that has truly been a bright little sunshiney ray on my horizon!

Sunrise, Sunset




















It's a pretty nice day that begins and ends at the temple. I like waking up to the 6:00 am session with my husband and finishing the evening studying and serving on the 3rd floor.It doesn't get much better than this.
