I had the pleasure of meeting Jo as well! She brought Jamie and I the same gifts as pictured above! She is so genourous. We talked rock, rock hunted in Jamies yard and then I had to get back to work while Jamie & Jo went to 'the rock pile' ! That pile is becoming VERY popular! Good talking to Randy also! Thank you Jo for everything. You are the greatest!

Oh knock it off... I had a great time too! Ralph and Mary Ann had me laughing constantly. After checking out every inch of Ralph and Mary Ann's house (like the curious doggie she is), Angie found soft and fuzzy Garfield and some chicken bones in the trash, LOL. Luckily she settled down while the serious rock talk went on. The stone in the wrap is an Albite Moonstone. Similar to Labradorite, but has silvery flash. Don't let them fool you, they loaded me up with gorgeous slabs. I'll have to take a pic during the day to do them justice though. In the meantime, here are some other pics... Here they are-- Ralph and Mary Ann at Stonesthatrock Central, where magic happens and where Ralph gets tethered, LOL. Not sure if anyone here knows that Ralph used to do scroll work. Take a look at this... Here is another, these are his parents, and he worked off the photo. Aren't they awesome? Check out what he made for rockhounds... Look, the little dude is hauling some turquoise. Ralph's got skills for sure and Mary Ann is a hard worker. They both are passionate about what they do and it is infectious... and they have tons of fun the whole way! Here they are with Angie. Angie didn't want to leave. She wanted to give them kisses before we left. Ralph and Mary Ann, we love you too!

Boy, Ralph is not only an artistic cabber but he is an artist in so many others ways as well. Those scrolls are awesome and the western scene is wonderful. What talent!
