Wordless Wednesday

This is my silly husband at Kristin's 11th birthday! Isn't he cute!

Tim is okay!

The doctors found nothing wrong with Tim's heart! They think it was a combination of dehydration and high blood pressure. Tim needs to follow up with his doctor and figure out a course of action on lowering his blood pressure. Tim told them that when he is stressed he chews on tobacco. A nasty habit if you ask me! (Not that anyone asked.) Anyways, they want him to quit right away and find other ways to relax. I told him that he had better start finding other ways to relax soon, because the stress with Ian was not going to be letting up any time here and could worsen. I'm going to start yoga up again and I asked him to do it with me. We used to take yoga classes together years ago, but life has gotten in the way of doing it consistently. It's time to take control again...

Anyways, everything turned out well and we have a plan to exercise and relax. My doctors have been getting after me about that too. With both of us working together, we should be able to stick to yoga and learning how to de-stress.

Thursday Thirteen - Hand Collected Minerals

Thirteen minerals my husband and I have hand collected The mineral images seen below were downloaded from the mindat.org website. We don't have the means currently of taking pictures of the small crystals that we usually collect. However, these images are very similar to the minerals in our collection. Blogger is NOT cooperating with me, so you will have to wait for the pictures. I'm soooo bummed. 1) Olivenite from Majuba Hill, Nevada. Actually I found the vug and I pointed it out to him. We were collecting underground in an abandoned copper-tin mine. 2) Chalcophyllite from Majuba Hill 3) Clinoclase from Majuba Hill 4) Aurichalcite from the Hidden Treasure mine in Utah. Here is Tim in the mine. 5) Topaz from the Thomas Range in Utah 6) Austinite from Gold Hill mine in Utah 7) Artinite from San Benito County in California 8) Tetrahedrite from the Sunshine mine in Idaho. We went 5,000 feet underground in a working silver mine. 9) Carminite from Gold Hill mine 10) Hemimorphite from the Santa Eulalia district, Chihuahua, Mexico 11) Brochantite from Broken Toe Mine, Nevada 12) Azurite from the Centennial Eureka mine, Utah 13) Realgar from the Getchell mine, Nevada
