Can you guess where I am? I am playing in muddy water at Mason Mountain Mine in Franklin, North Carolina! I spent a fabulous weekend here back in September to celebrate my Grandma and Grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary, the RUBY anniversary (and yes, I said 40 - what a milestone!).
Here I am before mining. Rubies and sapphires are native to the dirt in this region, and boy did we find some winners! I helped everyone dig up their dirt and sift through it. I was very good at throwing the "dud" rocks over the edge and yelling "garbage" really loud while doing so. Grandma used one of the rubies found to create a beautiful set of earrings and necklace pendant.
No wonder I like hanging out with these people.
Here I am looking cute and precious with my Uncle Bini. Our cabin was located on the banks of the Little Tennessee River with a beautiful mountain view (and I could watch the cows and turkeys roam across the river each morning). Thanks to Aunt Ashlee and Uncle Joe for locating such a beautiful cabin for us to enjoy.
Some more breathtaking views...
...and the happy couple. We love you! Congratulations!
