Rainbow, why and how

Rainbow we snapped while in Nevada

You must have the sun behind you and the rain in front of you to see a rainbow.  We snapped this the day we left Logandale last month.  Ancient people believed wealth could be found at the end of a rainbow.  The Bible tells us the rainbow is a sign of God’s promise that he would never again destroy the earth by flood.

Today we head home to domestic tasks and hopefully some time to work with the stones and other treasures  we have collected, along with some great memories, new friends and more.  Hope your week is blessed.

We went back in time millions of years

We experienced massive earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and windstorms.  We saw early people, pioneer settlers and miners, gold, silver and more.  We are finishing a seven week tour through parts of Nevada and California, celebrating the best of the West in six western towns.

The people, the history, the geology, mineralogy and more!  A big thank  you to Shoshone, Beauty, Logandale, Pahrump, Goodsprings, and Joshua Tree.  It has been a great trip.

A few more minutes and he would have died

Critical, but stable was the report for several days.  About three weeks ago we reported a fellow rockhound and vendor friend, Al, that had fallen I’ll at a show and airlifted to another hospital. Al has been through heart surgery and a pacemaker and is off to rehab.  We are thankful for his ongoing recovery and ongoing prayer support.

The same day Al fell ill, the wife of one of that club’s members passed.  Life is short. Make peace with God, who is love, love your neighbor as yourself and have a forgiving spirit.

Today we are in Shoshone, California for the Old West Days celebration.  Music, food, arts, crafts, history, tours and more.  Ye-Haw!
