You Don't Bring Me Flowers...

...but you do bring me heart rocks! Our family has been collecting them when we're out and about for a while and Mark brought these back from his fishing trip for us. He said he carried the big one in his backpack 2 miles in the pouring rain. Sounds like one of those stories about walking five miles to school in the knee-deep snow, but I believe him, because he is the kind of guy who would actually do something like that for me.

I woke up yesterday just giddy that it had rained all night and was still cloudy and cold outside. It shifted my perspective about all the things that were bothering me; I felt like I had been given a reprieve. I told Mark I guess I'm just a stormy kind of gal and he said "You don't think I know that?"

Well as usual I feel the need to correct the record,,,,It was raining so hard that all the electronics were in my backpack and I didn't want my fishing buddies camera to get smashed, so I carried it in my hand. Much more than two miles, also,,,and did I mention there was lightning hitting all around and a strong wind driving the deluge as we scrambled and waded though a slippery water carved canyon?
FYI, none of the electronics survived anyway.
