I know... I know what I said in my last post. But hey, I was never good at keeping New Year's resolutions either. Anyhoo...
Attended my second meeting of the London Gem and Mineral Society (LGMS) last night. The speaker a smart guy from UWO who spoke about meteors and impact craters. Scary stuff. We really are at the mercy of the heavens.
The talk was interesting and informative. My hubby, Derek (also sometimes known as Mephistopheles, with good reason, joker that he is) totally was into the subject. On our way home, I asked him if he ever thought he'd be interested in this subject matter, and in minerals in general and he said that no he never thought so, but that he's glad he has developed an interest in it.
This summer we plan on going to Thunder Bay to search for Amethyst in mines open to the general public. I can hardly wait. Fresh air, hiking, finding cool specimens, it brings out the kid in me.
Just a reminder, if anyone happens to be in London, Ontario the weekend of November 22 and 23 check out the London Gem @ Mineral Show. To be held at the Western Fair Grounds, Special Events Building in London, Ontario. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for kids. There will be demonstrations, silent auctions, door prizes, kid's mine, gold panning for kids. Fun for the whole family. For more info check out their website http://www.gemandmineral.ca/
