o we went on a little adventure today, all the way out to campbell river. took us almost an hour to get there, thanks to people who wouldn't drive the speed limit. but it was a nice drive, with views of trees and feilds sheep and a llama. We also got some nice ocean views in, tons of seagulls, one seal, and one mysterious splashing thing. but nice views aside, we were on a mission. the annual ripple rock and gem club was having a rock and mineral show.
so away we went in our nosey-mobile (the car is as yet, unnamed) and listened to some good music. Sonnet enjoyed cheerios and raisons for her in-drive meal. when we finally got there, the show was small, but filled with mostly very nifty things. I got some nice rocks, which sounds odd, but i shall explain. I got a string of picture jasper chips, 3 medium sized mexican jasper polished stones, 5 small mexican jasper polished stones (which are oh so pretty) some crystal spikes, 7 slabs of cut, but unfinished rock(snowflake obsidian, tigers eye and 5 unknown but pretty rocks), one of which will be in sonnet room once i get it mounted. and a queen charlottes agate, which is nifty.
on the way back home we stopped at a hobby shop. oh it had soo much stuff. i just went in to look around, but ended up running back out to the car so i could buy me some feathers. i grabbed two peacock feathers, and some nifty dyed feathers that probably came from chickens originally.
sonnet has a slight headcold, so she is cranky, but quieter than her normal. troy is off until tuesday, so tommorrow we are going to go to a heritage park in comox. we went the other day and it is amazingly pretty. i could just hang there all day.
