Afternoon in the rock shop with Betty

She's dug out her steroscope and learned how to use it. This is a cell phone photo of a blue agate I polished a few weeks ago. This is probably a square 1/4 inch. Maybe smaller. 

Betty with the steroscope. It's a truly neat tool.

Deer

I appoligize for the lengthy non blog..

We've had a lot of deer and moose come through, but I haven't gotten any decent pictures. These were just outside the dining room window...and it's a cell phone shot. We had a cow and calf moose this morning...and have seen several bulls a lot lately.

The Cheeneys have been deer hunting, and this is the one Scott got.

Brent got this one a week or two before Scott got his. Both are really nice.

Last couple of days...

Flying across the Wyoming range this morning...landed in Afton...gorgeous flight.

Jane was here this weekend. She brought us a freezer load of her elk meat. 

 Betty and I gave her a lesson in Betty's rock shop. The next morning Betty wire wrapped her stones for beautiful pendants. We had dinner at the Den at Daniel...a great time.

The early morning gather moving cows with Prices'. It was a stellar day for moving cows..and I enjoyed every minute. Topped off with DeeAnn's wonderful meal.

This and that

I went to Mesquite with Betty. I love the trips with her.. Also

a little luck in LV. Also went to circus de lay with Betty..an amazing show.

We'd polished off a couple of margueritas and were headed for some supper before the show.

Michael and Jennifer brought the girls over last night for trick or treating. It's a treat for us.

Michael said this was the closest his dad had been to a princess. lol

A couple rocks cut and polished in Betty's rock shop..then worked up in my silver shop. Such fun.

Before and after in the lapidary shop
