Soooo, did Josh save your life before or after you doused my shoes with water? In friendly conversation I mentiond my pleasure at not having to get my shoes wet in frigid water hunting rocks. Frank fixed that pronto, he's got a quirky sense of humor. Alternately I envey and have pity on his wife and daughter. No mater what this family is close, loving and know how to give and live.
I fly home tonight on the red eye. Solidifying friendships with Frank and Family, meeting new friends on the forum, Kristee, Josh and Randy more than special. Thank you for taking time to meet and visit with me. Josh let us roam his rock pile and can't wait to cut some. One thing I noticed everyone from the forum wore a pendent that they made. All making a special statement of beauty and passion. Each more dynamic worn than a picture posted on the forum. Experiencing the unique feeling of finding your own rough to work with was an eye opener to understanding my connection to rock cutters from now to the first person centuries ago making beads out of shells.
ive never packed so many events in two weeks, from bird watching with packalithic, four hour exercise sessions with Frank, to rock hunting with Lithicstrings. That's hitting the surface. One thing I've learned is that Frank does not exaggerate about his experiences an exiting place and life.
