ralph and i are in quartzsite in the very last row grrrrrrrrrrrrr its hard to post pics because my connection here is so slow. yes i made ralph bring his small cabbing machine lmao the weather has been in the 70's so he worked on some yesterday, i know, i'm bad. i'm gonna try adding a couple pics. yes i'm trying to buy some cool slabs but they want too much, i'm cheap. lmao

part of our set up

ralph cabbing. we bought a little pixie at the mesa show the weekend before we left for quartzsite

see the cute wagon i bought him for xmas so he doesn't have to carry the big rocks i buy. see i'm very thoughtful lol

Great looking set up. Man, I love that Desert gardens show because it's all rocks. Reminds me of the old Clouds show when it was still at Quartzite. Lots of the rest of Quartzite except for the pow wow is more like a big swapmeet....Mel

Did you set that grill so close to the cabber on purpose? Good strategy. lol.

Not sure about Quartzsite, but you may want to keep the ponchos handy for the next fortnight.

One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger

Mary Ann, nice pics. I didn't even think about taking out my camera and shooting a few myself, guess I had rocks on the brain...lol.

It was nice meeting you all this weekend and getting some rocks wasn't bad either...lol.

It is nice RTF members are right next to each other in that row.

Sorry the weather isn't cooperating now. It's raining here, near Wickenburg too. Hope you are all staying dry. Look at it this way, the rocks will be nice and clean when the customers come flocking to you and the spray bottles will get a break. ;D

Stay dry and bye for now,
Diane
