The Gem & Mineral Show is located on Yucaipa Blvd and Adams St.  Here is a link for more information:  Gem & Mineral Show Information.  This is our only local show and our third year here.  Come out, bring the whole family and visit us “too old” nurses and have a fun weekend.  And its FREE!

“Are we there yet?” an iconic question any family that has taken car trips can appreciate.  The adventure of life is the journey with its destination, eternity.  We met a young teen who commented on some of the pewter dragons.  “They’re just a myth,” he said.  “Dragons are mentioned in the Bible,” I responded.  To him, the Bible was a myth and he had very definite opinions of life.  (Much like myself at that age, I thought.)  “Keep an open mind,” I encouraged him.  As he travels through this adventure called life, his opinions will change.

We are on our way home after four weeks and four shows.  Next is the Yucaipa Music Festival and the Gem and Mineral show, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Have a blessed week and enjoy this adventure called life!

“In Norway, every rock is covered with lichen,” the geologist told us. This is due to their moist climate and regular rainfall, he explained.  We are spoiled in the Southwest USA for the amount of rocks exposed as a result of our dry climate.  He was one of the interesting people we met this weekend in Boulder City, Nevada.  The show finishes up today.  It has been fun.  The pic is one of the many cacti we saw blooming in the desert this week.

Happy Mother’s Day to all.  Thank God for Mothers!
