jasoninsd The Petosky's look great. Nice touch for the counter. Thanks Beth! It's fun to see everyone pick them up to look at them.

There's two other salespeople where I work. The saleslady has a cactus on the counter. It really looks sad...and dying! So, last night I polished two Petoskey Stones Jugglerguy brought me. I put them on the counter. I told my boss if the gal can have a dead plant on the counter I should be able to add some dead animals! He laughed once I told him they're coral...and even though he still isn't too sure how to take me sometimes, he's figuring it out little by little! LOL Nice polish on those, Jason. I’ve been excited to see how you’d like working on them. Too bad about all the muddy eyes, especially on the left one. There’s not much you can do about those. I’ve tried grinding through them, but that almost never works.

LOL Since it's my day off, I "should" mow the lawn today as it's supposed to rain the rest of the week. But I've got some 3 or 4 more Petoskey Stones sitting next to the cabbing machine that may distract me! LOL

Dang miket, I'm sorry to hear that. I sure do enjoy seeing the pics she takes. Hope you'll be able to find a replacement doggie sitter who is at least as good as this gal is.

Yeah, he only goes twice a week for the exercise- he needs it! She has been fantastic for sure.

I took the long way to town yesterday. Drove on some roads I had never been on. Found many creeks/small rivers. These couplers are common by the local creeks. They are used often by local Fire Departments. Made it to town in about 45 minutes. It normally is a 10 minute drive. One of three 1908, 3 span railroad bridges in Amherst. About 10-15 trains cross these daily. Photo taken shortly after it was constructed. Had to take a photo of my two favorite buildings in Amherst. The one on the left was used as City Hall for many years. One on right is the Amherst Opera House. Both constructed in 1902. Stopped on my way home to take a photo of a mystery building. It may have been a school at one time. Was going back to my car and some deer were watching me. It was great to just get lost in the beautiful country side on a nice day.

Another grandson picture, he's wearing a shirt that I got for him. AC/DC For Those About To Walk. It cracked me up! 🤣

Another old photo. Circa about 1910. North Lima, Rusk County, Wisconsin, one room school teacher and his trusty horse team. My mom said in the Winter he often hitched the team to a large sleigh and picked up students for school. Mr. Eberhardt taught school for about 20 years at a time when male teachers were rare.
