Sat/Sun - Tucson Gem Shows & Farkle

Whew! We've seen so many shows this weekend and we've only hit 1/4 of the shows here in Tucson. I'm looking forward to going to two more shows opening this coming week. They're both public showings and hopefully educational. Then... I'm hitting the local museums and nature.

Saturday was walking miles of the multiple shows at the hotels along I10. They were mixed with retail and wholesale items from all over the world. We enjoyed many, many, many hours of crystals, spheres, carvings, minerals, books, Egyptian, Tibetan, African and Oriental items. Felt like an international bazaar. Lots of
fun.

Sunday we woke to snow on the mountains. The days was spent touring the large wholesale shows which contained stones, minerals and silver jewelry. We met other Sacramentians here taking advantage of the great sales. I picked up some tokens for loved ones and enjoyed all the views.




And of course, what would a visit with our friends be without our Farkle Nights. Since Clint's "vision quest", he's been rolling unbelievable 'miracle' rolls for the last two nights. Saturday he won every game except one....and he only lost that one because of a 6-dice farkle rule that allowed me to steal his winning score.

We've had a wonderful 3 days visiting and shopping. Wishing our friends a great trip home.
