We head over to meet with the group of artists I had invited to display at the reception. We all work at setting things up, what fun.

It is 1:30 in the morning and I must get to bed. Jim is sleeping and I am hardly keeping my eyes open. We had a great evening with Jordi, his helper...another Jordi, John and Merle White and my husband, Jim.
Cheese, strawberries, blueberrys, crackers and grapes. Champagne and good wine...well, it made for a nice time to sit and chat at Fabre's room at the Old Inn Suites. We had a grand time talking about the forum, ourselves, minerals, and all the great stuff mineral people jabber on about.
I will finish up with Sunday tomorrow and start in on Monday soon! Cheers.

Gail,
We are enjoying your tour of the Tucson experience.
You document not just the shows and the minerals but
also the personalities and faces that go with the names.
Hope to see you at the Casa Vicente this evening.

I have a few moments to post while Jim gets some business done on his phone and computer. We had a nice breakfast with Stuart Wilensky and Irv Brown. Catching up on the "pulse" of dealer life in Tucson. Things are up from last year and many dealers we have spoken with have told us, truthfully, that they did well so far this year.
Today's postings are dedicated to ROBERT TEIXEIRA who wrote me the nicest thank you for my efforts and said he felt as though he were here.
HUGS to Robert, and enjoy.....
