At her spring dance she wore a beautiful knee length sliver sparkely dress with her purple chucks. Not sure if I have a photo, but I'll look around.<br />I'd beat my husband if he wore a wife beater.

Some are pea size and a few are basketball size. Most will fit in your hand. None have names. None are pets. <br /><br />When dry, they are dull looking. When wet, some show patterns, inclusions & striping. Some are metamorphic, some igneous. All probably got rounded and smoothed out during the Pleistocene glacial age.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
