Found out that friends Elizabeth and Ed were vacationing in the Smoky Mountains and wanted to go gem mining. We made plans to go along on the adventure. Rather than go to one of the touristy places where they salt the buckets of mud, we went to one where you have to dig and haul your own mud. The big challenge is to actually recognize the gem in the rough!

Today’s excursion to The Victoria & Albert Museum established in 1857 gave us a glimpse into the Victorian world and a chance to see some glorious originals and copies up close.
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
