Ace of Diamonds
I love gems, so the opportunity to dig up came up I jumped on it. (e:terry) and I spent Sunday afternoon smashing up rocks with sledgehammers in the hopes of locating crystals.

It is hard freakin work. In the first half hour we found like 20 gems. After that it went downhill and we spent like 2 hours smashing rocks to no avail.

I left the one big crystal we found in the matrix to remember the hard work.

That seems like too much work. How do you stop yourself from smashing the crystals themselves? If they are not diamonds, they can't be that hard to smash accidentally, can they?

I have found a new obsession :::link:::

They are not real diamonds. There are rare double sided quartz crystals. Mine are worth like $40.

Was "Make money! Lose Stress!!" the tagline?
tinypliny - 09/28/10 22:28
Are they real diamonds?! And they let you keep them? How much do you pay upfront? Do you plan to sell them? How much are the ones you found valued at?

You have excellent hair and skin. I wonder if all that organic food has something to do with it...

House For Matthew
Category: houses
Not even sure where I took this pic - I think it was in Herkimer - but I made (e:terry) pull over because I knew (e:matthew) would love this house both in style and color.

If that top room with the 8 windows has a place to sleep, I would rent it.

Mass Grave
Category: hiking
While hiking we came upon a mass grave for picnick tables at Glimmerglass state park.

It looked like this from the top.

And like this once you saw over the ridge.

Looks like (e:Terry) is standing on a small boat. That is one futuristic picnic table.

Camping Dinnet Saturday
Category: food
Ever meal at camp was amazing. My favorite was rack of lamb cooked on a campfire with homemade mint sauce.

(e:hodown)'s boyfriend Max and I made coals from some pine we collected.The Lamb was cooked perfect. I think (e:hodown) and I ate one rack each.

I made the mint sauce with peppermint tea and sugar. We had salad, heirloom tomatoes, brocolini and garlic smashed potatoes as a side.

After dinner we sat around the fire for hours. I brought organic heavy creme and strawberries for the trip but no beaters. No one thought it was possible but I managed to whip it into whipcreme with two forks and a speghetti ladel. Although it had a faint Smokey flavor from beating it around the campfire, I think that made it even better.
