<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Who knew we had to move to the Farm (that's really a Ranch) to get on a winning team??? Poor kid has never landed on a team that wins games -- until now. They won both games this morning 4-0 and 6-1.</span><br />

I've always found a "special" rock as a memory when I travel. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it seems my youngest has picked up on my passion, and the Farm (that's really a Ranch) is one of the best places to uncover nifty stones and fossils.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Throughout the years, when we've</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> found especially unique stones, we leave them on the stone wall out in front of the house.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Charger was looking through the rock collection this afternoon and when I went out for a walk, this is what I found.</span><br />

Well, it's never run well, especially on the rocky terrain here. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We finally took it to a mechanic this trip, and it's good as new now. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The boys set out first thing to make a gocart track on the North 40.</span><br />
