Fun With Gem Mining

I’m starting to feel so old, or is it that I’m just starting to feel fat, tired, and pregnant?  I hardly did anything today yet I feel so drained.  I’m not sleepy, but I’m super tired.  We tried to go hang out with some friends for awhile tonight, but I was just too ran down to do it.  We stayed about an hour before I was ready to call it a night because I felt like passing out on their couch.

The conversation was boring, and I just wasn’t into it.  Hubby and his friend were across the room talking electronics, probably about the latest gps systems or something else they can’t afford to buy right now while I was having a very hard time talking to our friend’s wife about going gem mining sometime soon in Highlands or Cherokee.

Gem mining is something fun we both like to do especially since we can use the little gems we find for handmade gemstone jewelry. She was hoping we could go tomorrow, but I just don’t think I’ll have the energy to do it this week.

Maybe I’ll feel up for it next week, and I can convince her to ride up to Cherokee for the day.  Out of all the North Carolina gem mines I really do tend to prefer the ones around Cherokee and Highlands because those are the ones where I tend to find more of the precious gems.
