Hi Don,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, the rocks and fossils came today. I was like a kid in a candy store. The students are going to love them. Once again, thank you so much for being so generous to me and the students. I can't wait to have my first classes visit the library. I think it's going to be a great year. Janet
;D

You're welcome Janet. I'm glad they arrived in good shape.
I was just thinking, I dug the bone and shark teeth just about the same time you were born. lol. Not trying to say I'm an old goat.

Janet, the little baggies of polished rock are all petrified wood. I put one bag in with a piece of unpolished wood, so you can show the little munchkins what it looked like before it went in the tumble polisher. Some of the polished pieces show the wood grain, and some don't.

Everything is perfect! You made my day believe me. I wish there were more people like you in the world! I know what you did took time and a lot of effort and I wish you were able to see the reward that will come because of this. Just know that if you are ever in Northern California and close to Paradise come by and visit my husband and I, you will have a place to stay.

You never Know Janet. Once my wife retires in October, we might just hit the road to escape the South Dakota winter. I'll have to check the maps, and see if there are any good rockhounding sites near Paradise. Not really a lot of effort goes into tumble polishing petrified wood. The most effort was taking the dog on his twice daily walks, and picking up little pieces of the wood along the way.
