My childhood hobbies, besides reading, included stamp collecting and rock collecting. I carried on stamp collecting in an album my mother had started. I may still have it, or I may have given it to my nephew Roy.
I also still have my rock collection, and parts of my brother George's rock collection, and some of my mother's more prized pieces. I collected mostly with my mother and with my younger cousin, Cameron. Friends often give me rocks as gifts because they know me and honour my passion. A dinosaur bone. A Gulf of Mexico rose. Aragonite. Selenite from the Winnipeg Floodway.
I have written about rock collecting on my other blog, Earthabridge. Please feel free to check it out. http://www.earthabridge.blogspot.ca , three posts on The Joys of Collecting Rocks posted September 27, 2012 (09/27/12), complete with pictures.
