Suddenly, Amy grimaced and let out a groan. She had bitten down on something hard. I was sure I'd left a tiny piece of shell in with the clam. It only took her a moment to extract the culprit. It was not shell. It was a pearl! It was tiny (about 3 mm in diameter)...but it was a pearl.
Amy's Pearl:
Luckily, Amy did not break a tooth!

ive gotten a few of those before! always a nice surprise as long as you dont get hurt! LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad Amy's tooth is okay, but what a lovely surprise! Is this the first time she has ever discovered a pearl?
ReplyDeleteI thought pearls were only in oysters.
ReplyDeleteI think commercially valuable pearls are only found in oysters.
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you about the time I found a quarter under my pillow?
ReplyDeleteNever knew that about pearls. Feel like we know Lachlan, Amy & David, but in all the time I've been reading your blog, I don't recall you mentioning Brian or Julie. Are they family?
ReplyDeleteBrian just moved to the island for the season. He is a banjo player and is working part time at Village Craftsmen as well as playing at different venues around the village. Julie is my former wife. She is staying next door, with Amy, David, & Lachlan for several months.
ReplyDeletePhilip, I didn't mean to be nosy-only been reading the blog for about a year. Thanks for the reply-you could have just ignored the comment. I'm sure you must know that kind of relationship is a rare thing. You must be very special people...Just as I always suspected.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
