A previous note from John I am volunteering at the county's dept. on aging, 2 to 3 mornings per week. They build ramps for the elderly and cut and deliver firewood. Notice I said they. My duties are to be available in case there is an accident and I need to call for help or get someone to the hosp. It is an OSHA requirement. The county to our south is one of the gemstone capitals of the U.S. and my youngest son (34) and I go mining during the summer months, but not too often as it is expensive. We have a fair collection but haven't done much toward getting them polished for use. Right now they look like ugly rocks.
