I have enjoyed introducing the kids to the collecting of rocks and cannot wait to see their faces on the cutting this year - reeling them back into the real world ! i got hooked once i realized i could do more than just wish ........ happy new year to ALL
@@Mummaearth It is nice. We'll see if we can get 2 more into our world tribe. Watching their Uncle Fred gave them some interest, the cutting and polishing kicked it up a bit, and then the next time they come up we'll try to hound, which I hope be then will have them locked 😁 Happy New Year to you and yours. 🫶
@@independencestnola Thank you and happy new year to you as well. It's fun getting the kids excited about geology. They're the next generation of hounders so we have to introduce them. Take care.
Fred, I loved how your neicces immediately started seeing things in the cut surfaces without any prompting from you. That's so cool man! And I found out from another youtuber, @PlanetaryLapidary that there's a term for it, pareidolia. He told me about because I kept commenting about all the stuff I kept seeing in the stuff he kept cutting, slabbing and cabbing. 😅😂 Now you know I have a disease! Naw, it's just a term for people seeing stuff in the background of things. I like it!!! Thanks for a cool video of you and your family to start off 2025 buddy! I hope your wife is doing well. If you don't mind me asking, what's her name so I can think about someone specifically when I pray for her?
@@RickSmith-kp3sy I loved it also. It must be in their blood. I knew there was a word for that but I'd never remember. Learned about it when it was being associated to people seeing things in clouds. My wife's name is Angie. I appreciate that so much. Happy 2025 to you and yours my friend.
