Maybe you should be 'rockbuster' from now on. That is too funny

Deb. that is really awesome digging for crystals. I would have

loved that. I have taken the kids up to some quarries not to far

from here and we look for fossils. My son always hope to find

megladon sharks teeth but we have found some pretty neat stuff. Its

been quite a few years tho. When I was in Alaska I went panning for

gold. Have this nifty little vial with some that I had found. Not

worth much, like you had said about your crystals, but means a lot to

me. Heidi has told me about her adventures mining for saphires in

NC. Now thats going to be my next adventure!

I hope your husbands supervisor makes a full recovery. Shame about

his son. When you hear of such violent behavior the first thought is

drugs. What kind of lab does he work in?

I wish I could send you some rain but we havn't had much here

ourselves. the heat has been horrible tho. Yesterday it was 115.

We beached it on MOnday and it was almost too hot for the beach;

almost. I love the beach it is my tranquile spot even with a bunch

of screaming kids running around (not mine).

I'm still having some discomfort taking the max of the ultram and

advil. I still have not decided if I want anything stronger. I

could call and get oxy in no time, I think anyway, just so sick of

having that dopey head. How are you feeling? I hope the only thing

to break down was that radiator and not your panc. Our vacays were

always like that. Something always happened but it didn't really

spoil the trip.

One trip comes to mind. We were camping and there was this big sign

over the water supply saying not to drink it because of

contamination. We always bring our own anyway. Well I have an

attack, didn't know thats what it was tho, and am vomiting and

running to the latrines with horrible diarrhea. Unbeleivable pain.

Well nobody in the entire campsite touched that water. People were

coming back left and right with bottled water. We kind of laughed

about it thinking I had eaten something bad; but when they saw me

running poeple got out of my way!!

I'm glad you had such an ice trip, it really sounds like fun to me

too. Would love to see your crystals some day.

With love,
