I had planned to go to Quartzite this year. My daughter-in-law, who was pregnant, started showing signs of labor early. The doctor started saying the week of January 16th was looking probable. So to ensure the baby would be born on time, in February, I cancelled my plans to hit Quartzite... Last week labor started and we all packed up something to keep us occupied in the waiting room while my son and daughter-in-law had their first baby. I have seen a lot of the tab settings people have been posting and thought I would give it a shot. So I took my little saw, a sheet of silver, sandpaper, and a couple cabs with me. First two are Crimson Cuprite and the last is an Ocean Jasper. They do still need to be buffed and polished. After 19 hours we welcomed our first grandchild and granddaughter to the family. Meet Raina Faye. A proud granddad holding his granddaughter. Both mother and daughter are doing well, though I am pretty sure my son will never be the same lol
