Vacation Time has arrived for this Austin Texas Realtor!

Vacation Time has arrived for this Austin Texas Realtor!

I’m gonna try and keep up with reading, commenting and maybe a post or two while gone on vacation. But if you miss me this week try looking either in the red dirt around Hot Springs Arkansas where I will be “mining” for quartz crystals

or enjoying the Arkansas Derby (it’s what I call the poor person’s Kentucky Derby). 

I get to enjoy nature and animals while re-charging my energy for the upcoming REAL ESTATE SEASON.

Hurrah..I’ve made it to the State of Arkansas without mishap!

Gwynn, you will definitely have a lot of fun mining... I did that several months ago in North Carolina and I would do it again... enjoy your vacation.

Ellie:  I've been "mining" crystals for about 15 years....it's fun, relaxing, hard work and energizing.  Didn't know about N. Carolina...what location?  Might have to check it out.

Christina:  Yep the re-charge is necessary....planning on having a fabulous time in the sun.  Been raining today in Arkansas but who cares - it's all nature.

haha, I've mined for rubies, emeralds, saphires and diamonds in North Carolina and in Arkansas!...  Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfeesboro.  A Lot of Fun.  There have been some huge diamonds found up there.

It's Hidenite Gems Inc. - they were mentioned on the travel channel as the spot for mining emeralds.. I did find an emerald, but we found a lot of crystals.  You can dig or go down the creek.  I would go back again.

About 2 carates, which means by the time it gets polished for a piece of jewlery it would end a tad less than a carate - but a beautiful color... I had a ton of fun.

Hi Gwyn - Thanks for the great perspective on "vacationing" and noticing things while on vacation.  I'm presently in Asia on business for about 14 days and I'm finding myself in the same position.  Most of us don't realize that the world "out there" is so profoundly different than the West we work at and live at.  I am soaking up the differences and letting it inform my awareness of myself and my business - real estate is truly global and we must be more aware of "lives" everywhere to see what our "locality" offers to others who visit us.
