I have bowls of shells and rocks that I've collected from travels and only wish that I'd thought to take pictures of each of them back in the day with a story to go along with them!

My father found it and gave it to me. Shoot. Now I want that rock! I never go anywhere much to find rocks these days.<br /><br />Olga cracks me up.
