Finally - Randy updates his "weekly" blog

Here is some catch-up on the Brown family...

My lovely wife bought an old camper. She wants to so some camping this year and I can't say that I blame her. Sounds like a good idea to me. It's an older Ideal camper, 70s model... and it's paid for! She has been working hard to clean it up - it is very nice and roomy on the inside. We just put new tires on it.

...and last weekend we went out hunting for morel mushrooms, just to get out of the house and into the woods for a few hours. We found a few, took them home, and fried them up - yummy!

We also had a few rockhounding adventures. 2 to be exact. 1 involved bring a horned toad lizard home and then another bringing him back and setting him free :) Mostly went up around graveyard point looking for tumblers and whatever was pretty. Lots of plume agate everywhere.

I'm really getting more into rocks and am having dreams of Jasper halls. I cut and polished a small slab of Biggs Jasper this week, but I need more oil for the saw before I can do much more.

There's a few more things I need to add from some recently completed projects and happenings. I'll see if I can't get more into the swing of updating this blog on a more regular basis.
