Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

Well, hello there! Hoping your week started off great. Monday, I figured I would be down and lazy all day since I spent  Sat. and Sunday out, running, and not at home. But, I pushed to not do that. I went to the pharmacy then to  Wally World to  get groceries and home to  weed the yard and then cut the  yard.  I managed to not laze around but to actually get something done. Sunday after I got home the  and the girls got over being pissed at me, they stayed close the rest of the day.  On my post the other day about rocks, horn coral, Liz left me this comment... If you ever find something you can't get  internet help for, you might try a local  university. I'm sure they have an archeology department.  Maybe? If you're enjoying the hunt, they enjoy the hunt. Liz, I actually contacted the  Tennessee. Department of Environment and Conservation with questions and they were very happy  to help. I thought of them cause when  ...

 My weekend started with my coffee on the deck. It was a really cool morning. Then I came in  got ready and headed out  of town. HAHA That sounds funny to say, 'out of town" when it is  an hour and 30 mins away,  but I really couldn't say I  headed back to my stomping grounds, when I actually  was going past my old stomping grounds. I wanted to spend some time with my brothers and sis in laws. So, off I went.  Before heading to Ray's, once I got to Lebanon, I stopped at the rehab store. Then headed on over to Rays. When I got there my niece, Jessica, her hubs and my great niece Evie was waiting on me. Isn't she a doll? Just turned a yr old. Three generations, Jessica, Evie and  my SIL Lori. My first meeting of Evie and I. Tried to get the camera on in time to get Marshall drinking from the spray, with his nose right up there, so surprised he did not suck water up his nose. That is my older brother, Ray with Marshall. I wanted to see my brothe...

  So, I was doing what I seem be  be able to do so well, sitting on my rear looking at rocks. I need HELP!! Actually, I had been getting some together for my oldest brother Ray so since I am heading that way on Sat. I wanted to check things. I love rocks like this. They are called  Fossil Soup. That is a rock that contains more than, usually several different types of fossils. Same as below. This piece I found months and months ago, I love this piece. It is a honeycomb coral.  In a lot of coral you will see crystals. This one has shinney crystals in it. You know I have been doing the  ROCK thing for over a yr now when I had a load of dirt dumped in the yard and realized it was full of fossils.  I have been finding things but  the internet couldn't always answer the question as to what it was. FB pages could not answer it either. But yesterday it hit me like   a piano falling on my head. Most of the things I was finding in my yard, I have real...
