Aradasa Purvis Johnson - Autobiography

Mountain Home AR

After my husband of 45 yrs, Sidney, retired at Alpharatta GA in 2002, we relocated to Mountain Home AR. We have been active in the local Gem & Mineral Club. I have made many wire wrap pendants and gem trees from colorful natural rocks. We were the club’s and MWFS’s “2006 Rock Hounds of the Year.” We host the meetings of Micromount group from the club. We enjoy rock hunting field trips to IL, MO, FL, TN, KY and AR (Arkansas Quartz, Dolomite, etc. mines). We enjoy the quiet lifestyle of the Ozark Mountains and live two miles outside of the town. We also like fishing, wood crafts (I asked for and got a wood turning lathe for Christmas a few years ago). We do lots of gardening. I ’can’ much of our vegetables and fruit (5 apple trees, plus peach, pear, cherry, plum, pecan & walnut trees), and also take a large quantity of the garden produce to the Senior Citizens’ Center.

We have two children, a daughter and son. Our daughter and husband and three grandchildren live in Illinois, our son and wife live in California.
