My project this week was to create a public service announcement. I procrastinated until too late to make it very detailed, but I was amused by the results anyway.
I didn't take any scenery pictures this week even though I saw some pretty awesome views. This week my eyes were trained more on the ground looking for rocks. I found a few I liked enough to carry the two miles back home. My parents introduced me to a guy at church who has done rockhounding for years and he told me I was welcome to come over and see his finds. He also said he had tons of pointers for me to aid in future rockhounding excursions. So I think I might take some time and really educate myself and do this more often!
On the left we have what I think may be a river-tumbled coprolite.(The one on the left, the other is for comparison sake...tee hee...)
On the right, two pieces of petrified wood, some purplish sandstone and then a smooth rock I loved even though I have no idea what it is!
I made an awesome Beef, Beer, and Barley Stew. It had onions, celery, carrot, apple, and tomato all pureed and then mushrooms and corn added. Lovely delicious, but not so very photogenic. As we were sitting around enjoying it, Mom said, "Mmmm, I wish I had hundreds of gallons of this and could send it to all those people in Japan." I love my parents!
And that's all for today!

Sounds yummy (the soup, not the coprolite)! And I, too, love your parents. I also appreciate your public announcement. So true, and yet so difficult to control oneself, no?
The Young Son admires your rocks. I wish for a bowl of your soup. We both pledge to put our fingers where our mouth is . . . or , er, anyway to refrain at least drig flu season.
I love my sisters!
