continuing with where i left off yesterday ~

so i first met the sasquatch i married back in socal in an honors geology field course ~

so yeah, we're rockhounds! ~

i was 16 & he was one of the prof's older students driving one of the class vans for us ;) ~

i'd ride shotgun, smoking my cigarette & looking out the window at all the cool natural scenes thinking.. i could get use to this! ;) ~

i think back of those times now as 'husband tryouts' ;) ~

on our first actual date together he gave me a love letter & ancient barnacle fossils he'd found down in mexico ~

so that sealed the deal & here we still are together 40 years later <3 ~

we keep jasper in this jar by the butterfly box ~

this rock tumbler makes them nice & smooth ~

lately we've added additional different stones to fill the jar ~

more tiny treasures ;) ~

toxic always loved pants with lots of pockets for tucking cool pebbles & other tiny things she'd find ~

this trilobyte fossil in mr dad's room is the oldest thing in our collection ;) ~

i found these cool trays for him to display his finds ~

& they filled up quickly ~

with crystals & agates he had tucked away in the garage ~

it's always fun to go out rockhunting with mr dad ~

he knows his stuff ~

today i want to wish him a happy day of the dad! ~

here's hoping we'll be out soon looking for more rocks & stones in cool places ~

here's a cool little handful i picked up last trip out, all washed & varnished ~

i've been known to paint some of these too ~

so here's a cool update as well to a post i made back in may here ~

john's old friends not only left my tolkienstone on tolkien's grave for us all, but they brought back 2 stones from his grave too! so i painted one similarly with tolkien's famous sig & it will now reside on our tolkien shelf in a place of honor :) ~
