Thank you for the kind words Kayleigh. I am finding the more I write the more I like it. I love semi-precious stones and used to do lapidary work as a sideline. I also belonged to our local Gem and Mineral society and every two years we would go on a gemboree. Basically a meetup to look for stones and swap mineral stock. I have few nice stones and geodes in my collection but age and time has prevented further digging. I will write a post on this aspect of my life at a later date.
