Hey a girls gotta save money somehow lol! A pallet of flag stone here cost upwards of 500$ or more depending on the type of stone. And that's without them delivering It! Really sucks. Indiana has loads of coal stripper pits and sandstone/ flagstone/ slate a plenty. So normally hubby and I make an all day picnic of it and bring home truck and trailer full :) Good way to get away from the 6 kids at home lol, just tell em were going to lift rocks and they scatter like roaches when the lite flips on!

Ha Ha you got me laughing there w/ the kids and roaches Wendy :LOL:
So true tho, they don't like slave labor!
I'm learning when I go out walking and hunting for nice rocks not to leave them out in plain site for my drive by car pick ups later on. I had one nice big heart shaped rock I pulled out of the bushes and left it laying by the side of the road and came back another day to get it and gone like a thief in the night! Live and learn, guess I'm not the only rock hunting nut around here :angry:

The poor rock was only playing 'possum. The minute you were out of sight it bolted for the hills!

Don't think I didn't check out the yards up there by that rock sissy,but no such luck and what would I do.............knock on the door and say "hey you got my rock and I had dibs on it before you and I want it back,lol" Guess I could have snuck out after dark and hid it in the long grass so I could come back and get it later if I had found it in a yard. Rock burglar I would be and they would call the cops and then what. Arrest me for stealing a rock? :LOL:
