For those that want to know – warning lots of pics

djd latest post mentioned a geode, so I think I will expand.

Firstly I have been rather remiss in writing and picture posting. so here’s a quick catch up 🙂

Woke in Mackay to this

We drove to Townsville past lots of these

Shame it was raining..not really swimming weather

naughty gnomes

I was tempted to cool my boobs 🙂

Talk about having to work up a thirst to get a sugar drink !!!

Oh if only we had the money..we could be so tempted

So geode’s….for the basic story you need to read djd entry
http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp

but the guts is we wondered around this wonderful shop full of crystals…beautiful beautiful gems…and so we decided to "crack’ one open…was rather a show for those in the store who decided to gather when I was kitted out in safety goggles and djd was instructed to push down on a rather large lever….then crack the geode opened. It was beautiful and somehow the act of cracking it open made it all rather special.

Then we get back in the car…admiring our treasure and djd says

"When one of us dies we should bury one half with us"
"A connection between us even through death"….

I was speechless…..I could feel the emotion begin to surface…the tears began to well in my eyes…my bottom lip started to quiver…I still could not speak the words I was so thinking.

"Oh just forget it then" grumbles djd to my silence…."it was just an idea…a good one I thought…."

are you kidding man!!! I’m crying with emotion at one of the most enduring things you have ever said to me and you think I’m insulting you!!!!!!

finally he glances over and I get the "oh good grief"!!!

"I think its a wonderful idea" I finally manage to struggle out…lots of patting of hand on my leg and tut tuts and the world returns to normal with our shared treasure held in my hands.
