Oh, how lovely! This belongs in a Fairy Tale story.

I am an avid rock and gem collector and have been since childhood. In fact my most prized "found" possession is a small heart shaped rock I found at our local park at age 7. One of the 2 arched parts had chipped off and a white vein on that flat part of the the rock had the capital letter "A" which is the first letter of my given name.

When I showed my bridge group and told them the story, I added that I'd brought it from my safety dep. box just to show them. One of group started her very infectious giggle (which set the others off) saying you are the only person I'll ever know who keeps a small, ordinary rock in a bank safe deposit box. Wellllll, let's face it. You can lead 'em to water but you really can't make them drink, yes?????
