Medieval Merriment at Rock Springs Arizona this Weekend

We will go back in time this weekend for the magic of Medieval Times north of Phoenix in Black Canyon City at Rock Springs.  Role play through majestic costumes, entertainment and, of course, Sherry and I as Bustin Glass and Minerals.  Friday through Sunday, April 7-9.   The setting is the famous Rock Springs Events Center with flowing streams, trees and rolling hills.  We look forward to these unique types of show.

The Glass Craft and Bead Expo was a great event.  We met wonderful people, learned new skills.  Seeing old friends and meeting new were the highlight of the weekend.

Glass Craft & Bead Expo Only Days Away

Today is moving day.  We have been in Las Vegas for the past two weeks visiting our mother who fell and broker her leg.  An octagenerian, she is more active than her age will allow.  Healing well, she will go home this week.  We are not fans of gambling but have kept busy being outdoors and visiting mom in the rehab hospital.  For that reason we have not lost one cent!

Today we move the motorhome from one RV park to be closer to the show at the South Point.   Wednesday we have classes, literally from morning to night.  It is fun to learn new skills to use in our “hobby.”  Thursday is set-up and Friday through Sunday, the exposition portion of the show.  Sherry entered a unique glass piece into the competition portion of the show this year.

Our good wishes to our friends that will be attending the first ever Spring Gem and Mineral Show in Joshua Tree, California this coming weekend.  Wish we could be there with you all. 

Hope your week is blessed.

Petrogliphs: What do they mean?

Is it a form of ancient communication or children’s graffiti?   Symbols and images etched into the desert varnish by early native Americans leave many unanswered questions.  Perhaps petrogliphs are many things.  We may never know.

 

We hiked briefly this morning outside of Las Vegas, while visiting our Mom, recovering from a fall.  Sunshine, vistas, wildflowers and more greeted us at Red Rock – a favorite place to visit.
