Um, not yet...still have to "patiently" acquire a few more whitewater skills! :) Sure looks like fun though! We'll be at the Paddle Show show. Maybe see you there?Duncan and Joan Barwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696525297637660026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-69904162848593039192013-10-23T13:31:16.856+01:002013-10-23T13:31:16.856+01:00Glad to see you're back "home".

Nature does have a way of speaking to us and even conveying messages for us through the symbols they represent, as did your little heart-shaped stone. Indeed, home is where the heart is - but sometimes one's heart is split! :) Again thank you.

I agreed with your gentle comments and understood them fully. <br />Also, I frequently load myself up with stones in my pockets and arms. Each time I visit the beach across the road, there are always stones that capture my imagination and admiration. The best stone that I ever found was on our property and it was in the exact shape of a heart. I gave it to my husband. I sent him this rock to keep in his pocket whenever he is away. “Home is where the heart is”, is not just an empty phrase to me. Thank you.

Right now! :) Good reason to patiently read and learn.
