Well Friday night we got to meet ED (DEEPTIME) our native Phoenix guy! What a fun night, we were so tired from the previous night at Jamies, we asked if he could meet us at the hotel! Well we shared so many laughs, Ed is a great guy, so funny! We had a great night of talks, and cigars! Thank you Ed, for taking the time to meet us!!!! And just for 10thumbs, I don't always smoke wussy cigars! Ed said Tony was too damn tall, so he jumped up on the chair, so funny! And the best part? I got a rockin heart, made with Labordorite!!!!!!! I love it ED, thank you!!!!!! Ed brought all his cabs and he is really getting good, he made some fantastic ying yang as I call them and hearts! It was great to see his progress! He also told us about a shop across the street that has a ton of lapidary equipment and findings! He also gave us a few slabs, which are in transit with some others! Ed it was pleasure, thank you so much! Amber

Another great post, Amber. Like John (BuiltonRock) said, Vacation time at the computer. I would guess that it IS hard work, so even more so the gratitude for your sharing all this wonderful vacation of yours. I'm not jealous, maybe a LITTLE envious, meeting so many from the RTH family!
And Ed, nice to see you; just looking at these photos was almost like being there!

Imagine you’ve just got into town you know no one your in the hotel parking lot unpacking stuff from your car its late evening your tired & ready to head to your room when a total stranger pulls up and says: I’d rather be grinding rocks… ;D (well that was my introduction to Tony & Amber) Now Tony looked at me and thought I’ve heard that before but I can’t place the face! Of course it was just as strange to me I was driving by I look over and I see this lanky fellow unloading a car darn, I think ! That’s Tony & Amber !!!! I better pull in see if they need any help and what an excellent opening line for a couple rock’n hearts!

Ed that's not what I was thinking when you pulled up and said that. I was thinking what was in the trunk that I could use to deflect a tazer. lol

Yes we went to Lonnie's and found out if we ever go back again we will need wholesale number. Their prices are double if you don't have one. Also learned from them that you can't get black artistic wire that isn't plastic coated. There is no process to turn copper black. Thanks for telling us about it.
