Dressing it up or Down, Note from Hannah, Rock Learning, Introvert or Extrovert

 What you may or may not

know about me, and I am sure

its been mentioned in my yrs of blogging...

My thoughts, NO wall should

ever go undressed.

My thoughts again, however,

this is over dressed.

WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME.

I really wanted to share this with

you, however, its a FB reel so if you

are not on FB I figure you can't see it.

 

I saw the reel posted by Hannah, 

which you all, if you are able to keep up

with my family, is my soon to be 

granddaughter in law, wife to my 

grandson via marriage, and mother 

of Evie. 

This made me emotional making. This is just a SMALL glimpse of our life. This babygirl has been through so much these past 7 years.

Long story short

In 2019 , my babygirl had a stroke in utero and suffered from countless seizures afterwards. She spent the first 6 weeks of her life in the NICU. We were told she only had 2/3 of her brain and that she had a blockage in her brain. he also told us that baby’s were so resilient and that things could potentially require themselves. we were told when it came to her daily life, we didn’t know what it would look like. she may never walk or talk or do anything a normal kid would do. the only thing i remember that dr tell me was that , it was only up to god.

Here we are 7 years later..

My babygirl is going to 2nd grade. she RUNS, she sings to the top of her lungs , shes so smart and sassy. shes everything those drs told me she wouldnt be.

We still have countless drs appointments , therapy’s and it’s hard work but god is good. We have been through so much and we still have so much more but with god all things are possible. my miracle girl, you are so beyond loved.

Now I will tell you that after reading this,

I had to post my comment, of course I did.

lol

she is for sure your little miracle and we are all very proud of where she is today. When I saw her a couple yrs ago, putting on her socks, not asking for help and not struggling with it, but improvising by using her teeth to pull her sock up, it hit me that we don't have to worry about her, I said to myself, You Got This Girl! I feel like there is nothing this girl can't achieve.

I whole heartly believe that nothing

will stand in this girls way. 

Love you Evie, so glad you came into my world.

Its rock learning time again...

haha. 

If can't sit still and read on without

comment in this class, please close the blog

and move along.

My silly humor and I know some 

of you are shaking your heads at me,

but keep in mind, that would have been

funny in person!!

Moving on.

This is what is called a nodule.

I have located several of these,

I actually have one that looks like

baked bread.

Here is what AI in Google had to say ~

This is an unopened geode nodule with a rough, spherical exterior often found in sedimentary or volcanic rock.

While the outer shell is typically plain, the hollow interior may contain quartz or amethyst crystals.

Unopened geodes like this are commonly sold for enthusiasts to crack open and reveal the treasures inside

Notice it said, might contain quartz or

AMETHYST.

I would love to open and find

amethyst in it, I don't get that 

lucky. 

But, I have been bouncing back and 

forth over purchasing a saw that will 

cut through rock. There are several folks

I follow on fb that are big into that.

Amazing what some of these older, 

millions of yrs older, rocks can hold.

One of my favorite finds was this

Found in my yard. Inside the holes are little crystals

and shine. .this item resembles a fossilized Favosite

coral, often referred to as honeycomb coral due to its structure.

If I was to go through the rock I 

collect in the past yr we would be here all

day.

But I do want to share the one I 

found, just walking in the yard and looked down.

Its tiny, but it is called a Picture

Jasper. The lines are formed from silica-rich sediment.

Picture Jasper is often used as 

a polish gemstone in jewelry making.

They are created naturally by mineral

impurities and groundwater flow

over millions of yrs.

The impurities are almost always

from volcanic ash.

Does that not fascinate

you? 

To think, that that tiny little

stone was made millions of years ago from

impurities and groundwater flowing over it. Also,

to wonder, since the dirt in my yard came

from the bottom of the Duck River,

and this rock was formed from

volcanic ash, where did it come from?

Where has this little rock been

pushed around by moving water 

been or has it been stable in one

area at the bottom of the river?

I looked up volcano's in TN and here is 

what I found.

Tennessee does not have 

active volcanoes today, 

and it has been geologically 

stable for most of the past 

200 million years, but 

evidence shows that volcanic activity 

occurred in the region hundreds 

of millions of years ago.

so, then I wondered.....

yet again....trying to feed

my mind I guess...

Were there volcanoes in the Smoky Mts.

And this is what I found~

 Yes, there is evidence that volcanic 

activity occurred in the Great Smoky Mt 

region millions of years ago. It was not 

continuous and was tired to major tectonic

events.

So interesting.

If I had done research, found this interest

and more, had the internet, wanted to learn

and not socialize, I might have been a 

straight A student and graduated with honors.

Well HELL, no senses in thinking about 

that, it did not happen that way.

 

If my mom was here today she would tell 

you that I went to school to 

socialize, play and clown around.

Now to leave you with of research to 

do for yourself and report back....

what determines if a person is

an introvert or extrovert?

Now, which are you?

Enjoy,
