Meat and Potato Stones

[debodun]

I have two stones - one looks like a piece of stew beef and the other looks like a small round potato (my mom called those "salt potatoes").

Cool!

I thought it was a spelling mistake...stones instead of scones!

Where'd they come from?

They are neat.

Cool!

Deb, Why did your mom call them "salt potatoes"

 

[debodun]

The round "potato" stone I got in the driveway where I go to church, but likely not native. I suspect it was part of the gravel they haul in to pave the dirt road. I don't remember were I obtained the "beef" stone. It could have been the same place.
