Heart Stones

If you know me well, then you know that I LOVE hearts. Red is my favorite color, Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday and my kitchen is decorated with hearts.

Last year, when my parents were visiting, the kids and I took them to Kayak Point. It is a beach, but instead of sand, it has rocks. It just so happens that for a few days the boys had been asking me to buy them some new LEGOs. I was so fed up that I said, "If you can find me a rock that looks like a heart, then I will buy you some!" My Dad and I chuckled thinking I was so brilliant!

Micah bent down, picked up a rock and said, "You mean like this one?"

We were shocked! How did he do that? There are millions of rocks on that beach! So I said if Daddy can guess on the first guess what it is then we will get you the LEGOs. In the meantime, Jacob was frantically looking for one too. And sure enough, right before we went home, he found this one.

When we got home, the boys showed Darrick and he guessed "heart" on his first guess. So the boys got some LEGOs...

I kind of thought it was a freak thing. But then when Darrick and I went to Salish I found this book in the gift shop.

It is a book filled with pictures of heart stones. So I have now started collecting heart stones. While I was working in my garden last week I found another one.

So now I have 3!
So while you are out on your journeys or hanging out in your back yard look at the rocks lying around and if you see a heart stone send it my way and help my collection grow!
