Finders Keepers

As mentioned in several previous blogs, my neighbor, Kevin, and I make a point of trying to find pretty rocks on each other’s property.   The rule of “finders’ keepers” applies to such finds.

The ultimate goal as to make one another a little envious of the find.  I know we both fib about finding rocks on neighboring property just for fun.

Adulting has never been our strong suit.

When Kevin stopped by with my paper yesterday, I told him I thought we needed to cut a few rocks at his place.  “I’ll walk down in few minutes,” I suggested.  “I need to get out of the house for a bit,”

A half-hour later, we were at the saw in his garage.  I sliced through a couple rocks that turned out somewhat plain-Jane.  Kevin sliced into an absolute stunner.

“Wow, that is fantastic!” I told him when he showed me the first cut.  “So…where did you get that rock?”

Kevin smiled.  “Was in the middle of the road on your property.”

“Right.”
