Stones

Why would I take a picture of boxes full of rocks?

Because of what they say. Grants Pass, Oregon is a stones throw (pardon the pun) from where my family is from, where my parents, myself & a sister were born. It's home.

They were just sitting on the outskirts of the new business park where the kid's dentist office is. I actually noticed them last October. But I didn't have my camera and missed the window of opportunity before they were buried in snow for the duration of the winter. When I took the kids back this spring, I wasn't actually thinking about the bill or their little pearly whites. I was worried that they had cleaned up the boxes or that they had disintegrated over the the winter. But joy of joys, they were intact and still waiting for me. The stones that came in these boxes were used for the lower facade of the buildings. Seriously? They couldn't find enough rock around these parts they had to import Oregonian rock? Though, a very good choice, I have no objections. And darn it, I didn't take a picture of the buildings with rock on them. Oh well, another photo op!

Who knew that taking the kids to the dentist could be so great?
