Sometimes we just forget........
When my niece was growing up we only got to see each other once in awhile - but she would hear talk of my adventures in the rock and gem fields and always kind of idolized me. Well, now I'm in CA and living a mile from her. I found a great crystal location and took her with me. She was soooooo stoked to be digging real crystals and finding them herself. We went back last week and took one of her friends that had also always loved crystals and couldn't believe she was about to actually find some herself. Luck was with us and we hit some mega pockets.
So I put the field trips on my gazette. Someone she knows saw the second trip report and called her. She is just wowed and feels very famous and adventurous, having done something she's always dreamed of and never had the chance before.........and now people all over are reading about it. The field report and pics are at:

It's really hard for us to realize how absolutely kewl it is to be featured on a blog in someone's news if they aren't IMer's. If you want to really give someone you care about a thrill - put a story on your blog that features them in it. It's as good as being in a magazine or newspaper to them. A good little gift for not-so-marketing savvy people. It also seems to change their mind just a tad about what you do online.
Just sayin'.............................
