I need ideas...
how can I "be there" for
my friend who's over 1200 miles away. Shes in Hospice, bed bound due to amputation and has very poor vision, so she just sits alone....day after day...waiting. I hate this for her. This kind woman has been in my life about 40 years and if she HAS to go through this I'm hoping to make it a little less sh*tty .
I'm going to enlarge and mail her word search puzzles (she used to love them), read "best of" internet craziness to her, send her treats (shes diabetic) now that her doctor said she might as well eat what she wants.
She has a great sense of humor... I'm thinking a male stripper (because of her vision he'd have to be a big guy or get really close)

The small town of Mount Ida, tucked into the Ouachita National Forest in Southwest Arkansas, is full of places to dig for beautiful quartz crystals. ⛏ Read about all the mines along Mount Ida's Crystal Loop in the article!

Re-Opening of Rock Shop
Hi Folks, I am both thankful and happy to announce that the shop, Crystal Meadows Rocks, will be open this 4th of July.

Cold Watermelon - while it lasts
9am to 5pm - or as long as I last
38 Shangri-La Drive
Mt. Ida, AR. 71957
1 (870) 490-2537

The past year has been difficult for so many businesses due to the pandemic. My heart goes out to those that didn't make it.

I try to find the silver lining in even the worst situations. For me, the down time allowed me to heal after health issues forced the sudden closure of the shop October 2019.

That was two Strokes, two Surgeries, a World--Wide Pandemic and 628 days ago.

628 days, sounds like so long. I was frustrated, but early on realized how lucky I was and that I had so much to do and had been blessed with the time to do it.

Time was spent in the hospital after the strokes, in doctors offices, in therapy and rehabilitation of both my body and my mind. And, the time to gain deeper connections with family & friends. I am so very thankful to be coming out the other side with so much intact.

This weekend is
Mt. Ida's
World Championship
Quartz Crystal Dig

Twin Creek Crystal Mine has really stepped up. Not only are they the sole mine open to contestants they are also hosting the kids dig.

You might think that this is no big deal, or that
they make a killing from the extra diggers. You'd be wrong.

The event is held each year to benefit the community. As such, only a portion of the entrance fee goes to the mine and that is quickly used up in the first days, of the weeks it takes to prep the mine.

Thanks to Stacey for quickly catching my error about what days the actual digging is done.
Correct days are
Friday and Saturday
